WebKit/Source/core/css/StyleSheetContents.cpp in Blink, as used in Google Chrome before 51.0.2704.63, permits cross-origin loading of CSS stylesheets by a ServiceWorker even when the stylesheet download has an incorrect MIME type, which allows remote attackers to bypass the Same Origin Policy via a crafted web site.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2016-1692 is a Chrome/Blink browser flaw where a crafted website could bypass the Same Origin Policy through ServiceWorker handling of CSS with an incorrect MIME type. This affects legacy Google Chrome versions before 51.0.2704.63. The source bundle does not show active exploitation or a CVSS score. Exposure is most likely in unmanaged or embedded systems still running Chrome or Chromium-derived packages older than 51.0.2704.63, or old Linux distributions that missed 2016 browser security updates. Treat this as legacy browser hygiene rather than an emergency, unless old Chrome or Chromium builds are still present. The business action is to find and remove unsupported browsers that can expose users to web-based policy bypasses. Mitigation focus: Upgrade Chrome or Chromium-derived packages to vendor-supported versions.; Confirm Chrome is at least 51.0.2704.63 where legacy version tracking is required.; Apply relevant Linux vendor browser security updates from 2016 or later..
