CVE-2011-0169

TITLE

Apple Safari Windows function vulnerable to arbitrary local file transmission

DESCRIPTION

WebKit in Apple Safari before 5.0.4, when the Web Inspector is used, does not properly handle the window.console._inspectorCommandLineAPI property, which allows user-assisted remote attackers to bypass the Same Origin Policy and conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks via a crafted web site. WebKit is prone to a cross-domain scripting vulnerability because it fails to properly enforce the same-origin policy. An attacker can exploit this issue to execute arbitrary code in the context of a different domain. Successful exploits may result in privilege escalation. Apple Apple Safari is a web browser developed by Apple (Apple), and is the default browser included with Mac OS X and iOS operating systems. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Get a tax break on purchases of Secunia Solutions!
