Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation The victim must visit an attacker-controlled or compromised website using a vulnerable Safari/WebKit build (Safari, iOS, iPadOS, or macOS before 26.5.2) - that is the only prerequisite, with no authentication, permission prompt, or user gesture required (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N) describes a network-reachable, low-complexity, unauthenticated attack requiring no user interaction, with high confidentiality impact but no integrity or availability impact - consistent with silent clipboard theft. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario A user copies a password or one-time code to the clipboard and then visits a malicious or compromised web page in a vulnerable Safari/WebKit build. The page programmatically reads the clipboard with no prompt or click, exfiltrating the copied secret to an attacker-controlled server. …
