CVE-2009-1682
Apple Safari before 4.0 does not properly check for revoked Extended Validation (EV) certificates, which makes it easier for remote attackers to trick a user into accepting an invalid certificate.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.06%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
