Blink in Google Chrome prior to 56.0.2924.76 for Linux, Windows and Mac, and 56.0.2924.87 for Android, incorrectly handled the sequence of events when closing a page, which allowed a remote attacker to inject arbitrary scripts or HTML (UXSS) via a crafted HTML page.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is an old Google Chrome universal cross-site scripting flaw. A malicious webpage could abuse page-closing behavior to inject scripts or HTML into browser context. The main business risk was users browsing hostile pages with unpatched Chrome versions from before the January 2017 fixes. Exposure is most likely limited to legacy endpoints, unmanaged Android devices, frozen kiosk images, or old Linux distributions still running Chrome or Chromium-era packages below the fixed versions. Treat this as high priority only where legacy browser exposure remains. For normally managed fleets, this should already be resolved by routine browser updates, but old kiosks and unmanaged devices deserve targeted checks. Mitigation focus: Upgrade Chrome desktop to 56.0.2924.76 or later.; Upgrade Chrome for Android to 56.0.2924.87 or later.; Apply relevant Linux vendor browser updates from Gentoo, Red Hat, or Debian advisories..
