Discussion
Apple Mac OS X Dictionary Arbitrary Script Injection Vulnerability
Apple Mac OS X is prone to a vulnerability that allows attackers to execute arbitrary script code because it fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input to the Dictionary component.
An attacker can exploit this issue to execute JavaScript code in the context of the logged-in user. Successful exploits can compromise the affected computer.
NOTE: This issue was previously covered in BID 36956 (Apple Mac OS X 2009-006 Multiple Security Vulnerabilities), but has been assigned its own record to better document it.
