== Vulnerability ==
In February 2013, a vulnerability with the webarchive format was discovered and reported by Joe Vennix, a [[Metasploit Project]] developer. The [[exploit (computer security) | exploit]] allows an attacker to send a crafted webarchive to a user containing code to access [[HTTP cookie | cookies]], local files, and other data. Apple's response to the report was that it will not fix the bug, most likely because it requires action on the users part in opening the file.<ref>{{cite web|last1=Vennix|first1=Joe|title=Abusing Safari's webarchive file format|url=https://community.rapid7.com/community/metasploit/blog/2013/04/25/abusing-safaris-webarchive-file-format|website=Rapid7 Metasploit|publisher=Rapid7|accessdate=7 February 2015}}</ref>
