CVE-2009-0943
Help Viewer in Apple Mac OS X 10.4.11 and 10.5 before 10.5.7 does not verify that HTML pathnames are located in a registered help book, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a help: URL that triggers invocation of AppleScript files.

Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (4.19%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
