Bypassing CSP with policy injection
A URL parameter reflected into a CSP report-uri directive lets an attacker append directives to the policy. On Edge a semicolon and underscore make the syntax invalid so the whole policy is dropped, and on Chrome an appended script-src-elem directive overrides the existing script-src, in both cases restoring script execution and turning a blocked injection into working XSS.
