The CSPSource::schemeMatches function in WebKit/Source/core/frame/csp/CSPSource.cpp in the Content Security Policy (CSP) implementation in Blink, as used in Google Chrome before 48.0.2564.82, does not apply http policies to https URLs and does not apply ws policies to wss URLs, which makes it easier for remote attackers to determine whether a specific HSTS web site has been visited by reading a CSP report.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2016-1617 is a browser privacy flaw in Chrome’s Blink CSP handling. A malicious remote site could infer whether a user had visited a specific HSTS-enabled site by abusing CSP reporting behavior. It is not described as code execution or system compromise in the provided sources. Exposure is most likely limited to legacy or unpatched Chrome/Chromium-derived browser deployments from before Chrome 48.0.2564.82, including old Linux distribution packages referenced by vendor advisories. Low for normally patched fleets. Prioritize only where old browser images, unmanaged endpoints, kiosks, or privacy-sensitive workflows may still use obsolete Chromium-based software. Mitigation focus: Update Chrome to 48.0.2564.82 or later.; Apply relevant Chromium or browser package updates from your Linux vendor.; Check vendor advisories for exact fixed package versions..
