Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Apple Mac OS X versions 10.4.11 through 10.5.1

Description The issue allows attackers to conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks or obtain sensitive information via a crafted HTML file, as Launch Services does not treat HTML files as unsafe content.

Recommendations For Apple Mac OS X versions 10.4.11 through 10.5.1, consider treating HTML files as unsafe content to prevent cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks or sensitive information disclosure until a patch is available. As a temporary workaround, restrict the handling of HTML files by Launch Services to minimize the risk of exploitation.
