CVE-2007-4424 (GCVE-0-2007-4424)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2007-08-18 22:00 – Updated: 2024-08-07 14:53
VLAI?
Summary
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.
Severity ?
No CVSS data available.
