⚠️ An old version of Safari can be tricked by a crafty website, letting attackers execute random code — like a chef that blindly follows a recipe without checking if the ingredients are safe! 🤯 Think of Safari as a restaurant where the chef (the browser) accepts any recipe (web page) without verifying the supplier's quality. If the recipe is bad, you could end up with a disastrous dish — or a system crash! This vulnerability could allow an attacker to crash Safari or even run malicious code on your system, putting your data and privacy at risk. Imagine your computer suddenly deciding to take a nap because it can't handle a rogue recipe!
