New! Plugin Severity Now Using CVSS v3

The calculated severity for Plugins has been updated to use CVSS v3 by default. Plugins that do not have a CVSS v3 score will fall back to CVSS v2 for calculating severity. Severity display preferences can be toggled in the settings dropdown.

Synopsis

The remote host contains a web browser that is affected by several issues.

Description

The version of Apple Safari installed on the remote host is older than version 3.1.

The remote version of this software contains several security vulnerabilities that may allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code or launch a cross-site scripting attack on the remote host.

To exploit these flaws, an attacker would need to lure a victim into visiting a rogue website or opening a malicious HTML file.

Solution
