The TreeScope::adoptIfNeeded function in WebKit/Source/core/dom/TreeScope.cpp in the DOM implementation in Blink, as used in Google Chrome before 50.0.2661.102, does not prevent script execution during node-adoption operations, which allows remote attackers to bypass the Same Origin Policy via a crafted web site.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2016-1667 is an old Chrome/Blink browser flaw where a malicious website could bypass Same Origin Policy protections. That protection normally stops one site from reading or interacting with another site’s data. The public bundle identifies Google Chrome before 50.0.2661.102 as affected. Exposure is mainly legacy systems running Google Chrome or Chromium-derived packages older than the 2016 fixed releases. Current managed browsers are unlikely to be affected, but kiosks, embedded desktops, frozen VDI images, and unmanaged Linux workstations should be checked. Treat as urgent only where obsolete browsers remain in use. For modern, auto-updated fleets, this is primarily a legacy hygiene finding rather than a current emergency. Mitigation focus: Upgrade Chrome or Chromium packages using vendor-supported security updates.; Verify Chrome is not older than 50.0.2661.102.; Check Debian, Ubuntu, Red Hat, SUSE, or Gentoo advisories where applicable..
