Apple Safari does not require a cached certificate before displaying a lock icon for an https web site, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof an arbitrary https site by sending the browser a crafted (1) 4xx or (2) 5xx CONNECT response page for an https request sent through a proxy server.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This older Safari issue could show a browser lock icon for an HTTPS site even when Safari had not validated a cached certificate. In a proxy-based browsing path, a man-in-the-middle could make a failed HTTPS connection appear trustworthy, increasing phishing and credential-theft risk. Exposure appears limited to users of affected Apple Safari versions browsing HTTPS sites through a proxy server. The source bundle does not identify specific Safari versions, platforms, enterprise proxy products, or fixed releases. Treat this as legacy browser risk, not an emergency, unless the organization still permits old Safari through proxies for sensitive applications. Priority should be discovery and retirement of obsolete clients. Mitigation focus: Check Apple guidance for affected Safari versions and fixed releases.; Retire or update any legacy Safari installations in managed environments.; Avoid routing sensitive browsing through untrusted proxy infrastructure..
