CVE-2010-1029
Status: ModifiedMedium (5)—💥 Exploit
Stack consumption vulnerability in the WebCore::CSSSelector function in WebKit, as used in Apple Safari 4.0.4, Apple Safari on iPhone OS and iPhone OS for iPod touch, and Google Chrome 4.0.249, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a STYLE element composed of a large number of *> sequences.
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: 12%
- Percentile among all scored CVEs: 96
- 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.
