Security: Force Fullscreen

Reported by ronalddv...@gmail.com, Jan 17 2017

Issue description

VULNERABILITY DETAILS

Chrome is forced to be in fullscreen. This can be used in a malicious way. For example a criminal send a link to a victim. On the page it says you must download X application otherwise you will be stuck in this screen.

I think this is a very serious bug as you can take over of others chrome browser.

VERSION
Chrome Version: Version Version 55.0.2883.87 m (64-bit) - I think It's stable not sure.

Operating System: Windows 10 PRO Fully updated

REPRODUCTION CASE
Click anywhere on the white page when you open the index.html after that chrome will be forced to fullscreen.



 
I think I forgot to attach the file. Here it is.
index.html

The dialog box clearly shows that the user went in full screen and ESC key works to exit fullscreen. This is not a security vulnerability.
Hey,

I think you did not re-produce the issue correctly. I have made a video about the issue. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L6Xr2wfxm4c

As you can see the user is forced to be in full-screen. Pressing "ESC" doesn't exit full-screen. 
Did you even check my index.html file? When you open the index and click anywhere on the page you're forced to be in full-screen.
