Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Verify Safari is installedCheck for Safari browser in the Windows system: Look for 'Safari.exe' in typical installation paths such as C:\Program Files\Safari\Safari.exe or C:\Program Files (x86)\Safari\Safari.exe, or check the Add/Remove Programs list.Affected if Safari for Windows is found installed on the system
-
Identify installed Safari versionRight-click on Safari.exe, select Properties, then view the Details tab to see the File Version. Alternatively, open Safari and go to Help > About Safari to display the version number.Affected if Any version of Safari for Windows is installed (the CVE states all versions are affected)
-
Confirm vulnerability applies to browser useThis is a client-side cross-domain vulnerability that triggers when JavaScript in a web page attempts to bypass same-origin policy. The flaw is present in the browser engine itself.Affected if Safari for Windows is used to browse web pages containing malicious JavaScript that exploits the document.domain attribute override
If Apple Safari for Windows is installed and used for web browsing, the environment is affected since all versions of this product contain the cross-domain same-origin policy bypass vulnerability.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
From vendor dataUpdate Safari to a patched version; alternatively, use an alternative browser or implement network-level controls restricting access to sensitive resources from untrusted domains until the patch can be applied.
