CVE Descriptions
CRLF injection vulnerability in WebCore in Apple Mac OS X 10.3.9, 10.4.9 and later, and iPhone before 1.0.1, allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary HTTP headers via LF characters in an XMLHttpRequest request, which are not filtered when serializing headers via the setRequestHeader function. NOTE: this issue can be leveraged for cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks.

EPSS
EPSS is a scoring model that predicts the likelihood of a vulnerability being exploited.
EPSS Score
The EPSS model produces a probability score between 0 and 1 (0 and 100%). The higher the score, the greater the probability that a vulnerability will be exploited.
EPSS Percentile
The percentile is used to rank CVE according to their EPSS score. For example, a CVE in the 95th percentile according to its EPSS score is more likely to be exploited than 95% of other CVE. Thus, the percentile is used to compare the EPSS score of a CVE with that of other CVE.

Apple WebCore is prone to a cross-site scripting vulnerability because the application fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input.
An attacker may exploit this issue by enticing victims into visiting a malicious website.
The attacker may leverage this issue to execute arbitrary script code in an application using the affected framework (typically Safari). This may help the attacker steal cookie-based authentication credentials and launch other attacks.
xmlhttp.setRequestHeader('Foo', 'baa\nHost: test\n');
The above request is treated as valid and results in:
GET / HTTP/1.1
Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate
Accept-Language: en
Foo: baa
Host: test
