First published: Fri Mar 11 2011(Updated: )

WebKit in Apple Safari before 5.0.4, when the Web Inspector is used, does not properly handle the window.console._inspectorCommandLineAPI property, which allows user-assisted remote attackers to bypass the Same Origin Policy and conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks via a crafted web site.
