It blocks &#8220;maliciously crafted web content that leads to universal cross-site scripting.&#8221; According to company representatives, this vulnerability has already been exploited in real attacks.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">XSS (cross-site scripting) is a type of attack that occurs when an attacker tries to inject a script into a page issued by a web application and execute it in the client&#8217;s browser. This is usually done when new HTML, JavaScript, or CSS markup is being injected. There are plenty of places in HTML where you can add an executable script to a page, and browsers provide many ways to do this. Any input to the web application, such as HTTP request parameters, is capable of injecting code.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Apple said the vulnerability that security researchers discovered in Google Project Zero may have been &#8220;actively exploited&#8221; by hackers. The bug was found in WebKit, the browser engine that powers the Safari browser on all Apple devices.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It is not known who actively exploits vulnerabilities or who could become a victim. Apple did not say how many users might have been affected. This is the third time that Apple has released a security-only update this year to fix flaws in an active attack. Earlier this month, the company released patches for similar vulnerabilities in WebKit.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Read Also:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/ukrgate.com\/eng\/?p=8825\">Apple Opens Another Vacancy in Ukraine<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong><em>Source: Ukrgate<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The company did not disclose the number of users who were affected.
