An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2016-4590 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Apple Safari. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-4590/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-4590/index.md)","id":"CVE-2016-4590","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-4590/index.md","name":"CVE-2016-4590","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2016-4590","GHSA-x7h9-4jcm-r6qh","UBUNTU-CVE-2016-4590"],"analysis":{"component_type":"browser","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Apple WebKit","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can bypass the Same Origin Policy in Apple iOS and Safari by exploiting mishandled about: URLs via a crafted website.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"security_feature_bypass"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"apple","cpe":[{"product":"safari","vendor":"apple"},{"product":"webkit","vendor":"apple"}],"cvss":{"score":5.4,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-20","name":"Improper Input Validation"}],"description":"WebKit in Apple iOS before 9.3.3 and Safari before 9.1.2 mishandles about: URLs, which allows remote attackers to bypass the Same Origin Policy via a crafted web site.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Security feature bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-4590","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"apple:safari","products":["apple:safari","apple:webkit"],"type":"security_feature_bypass","year":"2016"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":8,"next":{"headline":"Path traversal in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-4591"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-4589"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2016-07-22","related":[{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Security feature bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-5780","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2015-10-09"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Code injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2014-1300","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2014-03-26"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2014-1303","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2014-03-26"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Code injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2010-1120","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2010-03-25"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2009-0137","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2009-02-13"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Integer overflow in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-2303","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2008-07-14"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Information disclosure in n/a","id":"CVE-2007-2843","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2007-05-24"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-06","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Remote attackers can bypass the Same Origin Policy in Apple iOS and Safari by exploiting mishandled about: URLs via a crafted website.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-4590/"}
