Impact

The CVE describes a path handling issue that allows maliciously crafted web content to be processed in a way that may disclose sensitive user information. The vulnerability is identified as an improper limitation of a pathname, corresponding to CWE‑22. This flaw causes the operating system or browser to incorrectly validate file paths, potentially exposing confidential data to an attacker when a compromised website or file is accessed.

Affected Systems

Apple Safari on macOS, iOS, and iPadOS are affected when running version 26.5.2 or earlier. The issue is fixed in Safari 26.5.2, iOS 26.5.2, iPadOS 26.5.2, and macOS Tahoe 26.5.2. Devices running earlier releases expose user data via the vulnerable path handling logic.

Risk and Exploitability

EPSS data for this vulnerability is not available and it is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, implying that the current risk of exploitation is unknown but potentially low to moderate. The CVSS score is 6.5, indicating moderate severity. The most likely attack vector is the delivery of malicious web content through Safari, which could trigger the path handling flaw and leak sensitive data.
