CVE-2007-4424: Apple Safari

Medium severity, CVSS 4.3. EPSS: 1.1% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

Apple Safari for Windows 3.0.3 and earlier does not prompt the user before downloading a file, which allows remote attackers to download arbitrary files to the desktop of a client system via certain HTML, as demonstrated by a filename in the DATA attribute of an OBJECT element. NOTE: it could be argued that this is not a vulnerability because a dangerous file is not actually launched, but as of 2007, it is generally accepted that web browsers should prompt users before saving dangerous content.

Affected products

• Apple Safari: up to and including 3.0.3
