Summary
The Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) implementation in Apple iOS before 9.2.1 and Safari before 9.0.3 mishandles the "a:visited button" selector during height processing, which makes it easier for remote attackers to obtain sensitive browser-history information via a crafted web site.
Exploit prediction
1.65% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days, higher than 76% of all scored CVEs (FIRST EPSS, 2026-11-08).
