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.","published":"2007-08-18T22:17:00.000Z","lastModified":"2026-06-16T22:44:04.000Z","status":"Modified","sourceIdentifier":"cve@mitre.org","cvss":{"version":"2.0","score":4.3,"severity":"MEDIUM","vector":"AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:N/I:P/A:N"},"cwe":[],"affected":["apple/safari"],"epss":{"score":0.01083,"percentile":0.64966,"date":"2026-10-26","history":[]},"kev":{"listed":false},"exploits":{"count":0,"verified":false,"firstPublished":null,"source":"Exploit-DB (https://gitlab.com/exploit-database/exploitdb)","entries":[]},"verdict":{"level":"low","text":"Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.08%).
