The International Domain Name (IDN) support in Safari 1.2.5 allows remote attackers to spoof domain names using punycode encoded domain names that are decoded in URLs and SSL certificates in a way that uses homograph characters from other character sets, which facilitates phishing attacks.

CWE-1007: Insufficient Visual Distinction of Homoglyphs Presented to User
The product displays information or identifiers to a user, but the display mechanism does not make it easy for the user to distinguish between visually similar or identical glyphs (homoglyphs), which may cause the user to misinterpret a glyph and perform an unintended, insecure action.
Some glyphs, pictures, or icons can be semantically distinct to a program, while appearing very similar or identical to a human user. These are referred to as homoglyphs. For example, the lowercase "l" (ell) and uppercase "I" (eye) have different character codes, but these characters can be displayed in exactly the same way to a user, depending on the font. This can also occur between different character sets. For example, the Latin

Homograph Attack via Homoglyphs

[MEDIUM] Homograph Attack via Homoglyphs
CAPEC-632: Homograph Attack via Homoglyphs
An adversary registers a domain name containing a homoglyph, leading the registered domain to appear the same as a trusted domain. A homograph attack leverages the fact that different characters among various character sets look the same to the user. Homograph attacks must generally be combined with other attacks, such as phishing attacks, in order to direct Internet traffic to the adversary-controlled destinations.
Alternate Terms: Homoglyph Attack
Execution Flow:
Step 1 [Explore]: [Determine target website] The adversary first determines which website to impersonate, generally one that is trusted and receives a consistent amount of traffic.
Technique: Research popular or high traffic websites.
Step 2 [Experiment]: [Impersonate trusted domain]
