Vulnerable Configurations
Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE)
Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification (CAPEC)
- Subverting Environment Variable Values The attacker directly or indirectly modifies environment variables used by or controlling the target software. The attacker's goal is to cause the target software to deviate from its expected operation in a manner that benefits the attacker.
- Footprinting An attacker engages in probing and exploration activity to identify constituents and properties of the target. Footprinting is a general term to describe a variety of information gathering techniques, often used by attackers in preparation for some attack. It consists of using tools to learn as much as possible about the composition, configuration, and security mechanisms of the targeted application, system or network. Information that might be collected during a footprinting effort could include open ports, applications and their versions, network topology, and similar information. While footprinting is not intended to be damaging (although certain activities, such as network scans, can sometimes cause disruptions to vulnerable applications inadvertently) it may often pave the way for more damaging attacks.
- Exploiting Trust in Client (aka Make the Client Invisible) An attack of this type exploits a programs' vulnerabilities in client/server communication channel authentication and data integrity. It leverages the implicit trust a server places in the client, or more importantly, that which the server believes is the client. An attacker executes this type of attack by placing themselves in the communication channel between client and server such that communication directly to the server is possible where the server believes it is communicating only with a valid client. There are numerous variations of this type of attack.
- Browser Fingerprinting An attacker carefully crafts small snippets of Java Script to efficiently detect the type of browser the potential victim is using. Many web-based attacks need prior knowledge of the web browser including the version of browser to ensure successful exploitation of a vulnerability. Having this knowledge allows an attacker to target the victim with attacks that specifically exploit known or zero day weaknesses in the type and version of the browser used by the victim. Automating this process via Java Script as a part of the same delivery system used to exploit the browser is considered more efficient as the attacker can supply a browser fingerprinting method and integrate it with exploit code, all contained in Java Script and in response to the same web page request by the browser.
- Session Credential Falsification through Prediction This attack targets predictable session ID in order to gain privileges. The attacker can predict the session ID used during a transaction to perform spoofing and session hijacking.

description | The version of Apple Safari installed on the remote macOS or Mac OS X host is prior to 10.1. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities: - An out-of-bounds read error exists in WebKit when handling certain JavaScript code. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to cause a denial of service condition or the disclosure of memory contents. (CVE-2016-9642) - A denial of service vulnerability exists in WebKit when handling certain regular expressions. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via a specially crafted web page, to exhaust available memory resources. (CVE-2016-9643) - Multiple information disclosure vulnerabilities exist in WebKit when handling page loading due to improper validation of certain input. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit these to disclose data cross-origin. (CVE-2017-2364, CVE-2017-2367) - An unspecified state management flaw exists that allows an unauthenticated, remote attacker to spoof the address bar. (CVE-2017-2376) - A denial of service vulnerability exists in the Web Inspector component when closing a window while the debugger is paused. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to terminate the application. (CVE-2017-2377) - An unspecified flaw exists in WebKit when creating bookmarks using drag-and-drop due to improper validation of certain input. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via a specially crafted link, to spoof bookmarks or potentially execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2017-2378) - An information disclosure vulnerability exists in the Login AutofFill component that allows a local attacker to access keychain items. (CVE-2017-2385) - Multiple information disclosure vulnerabilities exist in WebKit when handling unspecified exceptions or elements. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit these, via specially crafted web content, to disclose data cross-origin. (CVE-2017-2386, CVE-2017-2479, CVE-2017-2480) - An unspecified flaw exists in the handling of HTTP authentication that allows an unauthenticated, remote attacker to disclose authentication sheets on arbitrary websites or cause a denial of service condition. (CVE-2017-2389) - Multiple memory corruption issues exist in WebKit that allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause a denial of service condition or the execution of arbitrary code. (CVE-2017-2394, CVE-2017-2395, CVE-2017-2396, CVE-2017-2433, CVE-2017-2454, CVE-2017-2455, CVE-2017-2459, CVE-2017-2460, CVE-2017-2464, CVE-2017-2465, CVE-2017-2466, CVE-2017-2468, CVE-2017-2469, CVE-2017-2470, CVE-2017-2476) - A memory corruption issue exists in WebKit within the Web Inspector component due to improper validation of certain input. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to cause a denial of service condition or the execution of arbitrary code. (CVE-2017-2405) - An unspecified type confusion error exists that allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to execute arbitrary code by using specially crafted web content. (CVE-2017-2415) - A security bypass vulnerability exists in WebKit that allows an unauthenticated, remote attacker to bypass the Content Security Policy by using specially crafted web content. (CVE-2017-2419) - An unspecified flaw exists in WebKit when handling OpenGL shaders that allows an unauthenticated, remote attacker to disclose process memory content by using specially crafted web content. (CVE-2017-2424) - An information disclosure vulnerability exists in WebKit JavaScript Bindings when handling page loading due to unspecified logic flaws. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via specially crafted web content, to disclose data cross-origin. (CVE-2017-2442) - A memory corruption issue exists in WebKit within the CoreGraphics component due to improper validation of certain input. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via specially crafted web content, to cause a denial of service condition or the execution of arbitrary code. (CVE-2017-2444) - A universal cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in WebKit when handling frame objects due to improper validation of certain input. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via specially crafted web content, to execute arbitrary script code in a user |
