CVE-2007-4812

Status: ModifiedMedium (5)—💥 Exploit

Buffer overflow in Apple Safari 3.0.3 522.15.5, and other versions before Beta Update 3.0.4, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly have other unspecified impact by setting document.location.hash to a long string. NOTE: the crash might actually occur in the alert method.

CVSS

Version: 2.0
Vector: AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P
Base score: 5

Exploitation probability (EPSS)

Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 3.04%
Percentile among all scored CVEs: 87
Score date: 10/9/2026

EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, FIRST) estimates how likely a vulnerability is to be exploited in the wild within 30 days. It complements CVSS (impact) and CISA KEV (confirmed exploitation).

💥 Public exploits

Exploit code or detection templates are publicly available. This is not the same as confirmed active exploitation (KEV), but it raises the risk: patch with priority.
