MITRE ATT&CK

2 techniques across 2 tactics: Execution, Privilege Escalation

The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up.

Exploitation Conditions

Requires user interaction (UI:R) to open malicious web content. No authentication needed (PR:N). Attack vector is Local (AV:L) because the user must be on the device and navigate to the crafted page. No special configuration or feature required; default Safari usage suffices.

Impact

CVSS 5.5 (medium) with Local attack vector and User Interaction required. EPSS 0.14% indicates very low exploitation probability. No CISA KEV listing or public exploit code identified. The impact is limited to availability (crash) with no confidentiality or integrity compromise. Overall real-world risk is low; it is not a priority for most organizations unless Safari is used in critical untrusted content consumption.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker hosts a malicious website and lures a user to visit it via a crafted link or email. When the user opens the page in Safari, the use-after-free condition triggers, causing the browser to crash. No proof-of-concept exploit identified.

AnalysisAIv1 – Jul 28, 2026

Unexpected Safari crash via use-after-free when processing maliciously crafted web content affects Safari 26.6 and earlier on all Apple platforms. This denial-of-service condition requires user interaction to open a malicious webpage; no public exploit identified and EPSS probability is low (0.14%).

RemediationAI

Apply vendor-released patch: Upgrade Safari to version 26.6 on macOS, and update respective OS to version 26.6 for iOS/iPadOS, tvOS, visionOS, watchOS. Patches available from Apple's support pages linked above. No workarounds provided; the best mitigation is to avoid clicking untrusted links and keep software updated.

Attack Technique

Use-after-free vulnerabilities occur when a program continues to access memory through a pointer after that memory has been deallocated.

Memory corruption occurs when a program writes data beyond the boundaries of allocated memory regions or accesses memory in unintended ways, violating the integrity of the process's address space.

Denial of Service attacks render applications or systems unavailable by overwhelming resources or triggering failure conditions.
