GMS-2016-73: Bypass CSP protection
Extension URIs (resource://...) bypass Content-Security-Policy in Chrome and Firefox and can always be loaded. Now if a site already has a XSS bug, and uses CSP to protect itself, but the user has an extension installed that uses Angular, an attacked can load Angular from the extension, and Angular’s auto-bootstrapping can be used to bypass the victim site’s CSP protection.
