CVE-2008-0729

Status: ModifiedHigh (7.1)—💥 Exploit

Mobile Safari on Apple iPhone 1.1.2 and 1.1.3 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory exhaustion and device crash) via certain JavaScript code that constructs a long string and an array containing long string elements, possibly a related issue to CVE-2006-3677. NOTE: some of these details are obtained from third party information.

CVSS

Version: 2.0
Vector: AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:C
Base score: 7.1

Exploitation probability (EPSS)

Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 8.07%
Percentile among all scored CVEs: 95
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.
