Safari for Windows, 0day URL protocol handler command injection



Apple released version 3 of their popular Safari web browser today, with the added twist of offering both an OS X and a Windows version. Given that Apple has had a lousy track record with security on OS X, in addition to a hostile attitude towards security researchers, a lot of people are expecting to see quite a number of vulnerabilities targeted towards this new Windows browser.

There is a URL protocol handler command injection vulnerability in Safari for Windows that allows you to execute shell commands with arbitrary arguments. This vulnerability can be triggered without user interaction simply by visiting a webpage. The full advisory and a working Proof of Concept exploit can be found at
