Microsoft Edge in Microsoft Windows 10 Gold, 1511, 1607, 1703, and Windows Server 2016 allows an attacker to trick a user into loading a page containing malicious content, due to the way that the Edge Content Security Policy (CSP) validates certain specially crafted documents, aka "Microsoft Edge Security Feature Bypass Vulnerability".
