17
FAUCET Score

CVE-2018-4309 describes a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in Safari, affecting versions prior to iOS 12, tvOS 12, Safari 12, iTunes 12.9 for Windows, and iCloud for Windows 7.7. This medium-severity flaw (CVSS 6.1) could be exploited remotely with low attack complexity, requiring user interaction, potentially leading to limited impact on confidentiality and integrity. While no public exploit code (Metasploit, Nuclei, ExploitDB) is available and it's not listed in CISA's KEV catalog, the vulnerability garnered some media attention and community discussion. Apple addressed this issue through improved URL validation in subsequent updates.
