CVE-2009-1686
Status: ModifiedHigh (9.3)—
WebKit in Apple Safari before 4.0, iPhone OS 1.0 through 2.2.1, and iPhone OS for iPod touch 1.1 through 2.2.1 does not properly handle constant (aka const) declarations in a type-conversion operation during JavaScript exception handling, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (memory corruption and application crash) via a crafted HTML document.
CVSS
- Version: 2.0
- Vector: AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C
- Base score: 9.3
Exploitation probability (EPSS)
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 7.53%
- Percentile among all scored CVEs: 94
- 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).
