Blink in Google Chrome prior to 56.0.2924.76 for Linux, Windows and Mac, and 56.0.2924.87 for Android, allowed attacker controlled JavaScript to be run during the invocation of a private script method, which allowed a remote attacker to inject arbitrary scripts or HTML (UXSS) via a crafted HTML page.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2017-5008 was a Chrome Blink universal cross-site scripting flaw. A crafted web page could cause attacker-controlled JavaScript to run during a private script method call, allowing script or HTML injection. Business risk is mainly users or managed systems still running obsolete Chrome or Chromium builds from early 2017 or older. Exposure is likely limited to legacy endpoints, embedded systems, lab images, or unpatched Linux distribution Chromium packages. Current supported Chrome deployments should not be affected if normal browser update channels are functioning. Prioritize remediation only if legacy Chrome or Chromium remains in the environment. For modern managed browsers, this is mainly a hygiene and asset-discovery issue rather than an emergency response event. Mitigation focus: Update Chrome beyond 56.0.2924.76 on Linux, Windows, and Mac.; Update Chrome for Android beyond 56.0.2924.87.; Apply relevant Gentoo, Red Hat, or Debian Chromium security advisories..
