Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Apple OS X versions prior to 10.11

Description The issue is related to a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the Notes component of Apple OS X. This vulnerability allows local users to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via crafted text, potentially enabling an attacker to execute arbitrary code. The vulnerability exists due to insufficient protection of the web page structure.

Recommendations For Apple OS X versions prior to 10.11, update to version 10.11 or later to resolve the issue.
