CVE-2011-0242
Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in WebKit in Apple Safari before 5.0.6 allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via vectors involving a URL that contains a username.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.69%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
