CWE-399Published: March 25, 2010· Updated: Jun 16, 2026

10.0

CVSS v3.1

Official Description

Use-after-free vulnerability in WebKit in Apple Safari before 5.0 on Mac OS X 10.5 through 10.6 and Windows, Safari before 4.1 on Mac OS X 10.4, and Safari on Apple iPhone OS allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (application crash), or read the SMS database or other data, via vectors related to "attribute manipulation," as demonstrated by Vincenzo Iozzo and Ralf Philipp Weinmann during a Pwn2Own competition at CanSecWest 2010.

Technical Analysis

CVE-2010-1119 can be exploited remotely over the network without requiring physical or adjacent access, significantly expanding the attack surface for threat actors.

Exploitation requires some privileges, which limits the exposure to scenarios where an attacker has already gained initial access.

A proof-of-concept (PoC) exploit exists for CVE-2010-1119. While not yet confirmed in active campaigns, the availability of PoC code increases exploitation risk substantially.
