Apple Safari file:// Arbitrary Code Execution

This Metasploit module exploits a vulnerability found in Apple Safari on OSX platform. A policy issue in the handling of file:// URLs may allow arbitrary remote code execution under the context of the user. In order to trigger arbitrary remote code execution, the best way seems to be opening a share on the victim machine first (this can be SMB/WebDav/FTP, or a fileformat that OSX might automount), and then execute it in /Volumes/[share]

Apple Safari Directory Traversal

Apple Safari versions 5.0 and later on Mac OS and Windows are vulnerable to a directory traversal issue with the handling of "safari-extension://" URLs. Attackers can create malicious websites that trigger Safari to send files from the victim's system to the attacker. Arbitrary Javascript can be executed in the web context of the Safari extension.
