CVE-2012-0657
Quartz Composer in Apple Mac OS X before 10.7.4, when the RSS Visualizer screensaver is enabled, allows physically proximate attackers to bypass screen locking and launch a Safari process via unspecified vectors.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.37%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
