Medium

Base vector

AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:N/I:P/A:N

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Apple iOS versions prior to 9

Description The issue is related to the WebKit component in Apple iOS, which has inadequate access control. This allows remote attackers to bypass the Same Origin Policy by creating a crafted web site. The problem stems from WebKit not properly selecting the cases in which a Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) document is required to have the text/css content type.

Recommendations For Apple iOS versions prior to 9, update to a version 9 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to potentially malicious web sites to minimize the risk of exploitation.
