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 | The user must actively open or navigate to a maliciously crafted webpage using Safari on an affected Apple device running iOS/iPadOS prior to 18.7.10 or 26.6.1, or macOS Tahoe prior to 26.6.2. The CVSS vector confirms UI:R (user interaction required) - passive network exposure without user action does not trigger the flaw. PR:N confirms no authentication or prior account access is required on the target system. Exploitation is limited to the availability of the Safari process; the CVSS Scope:Unchanged and Confidentiality:None/Integrity:None ratings indicate no data leakage or persistent system compromise results from the crash. Non-default configurations or specific features are not named in the description as prerequisites. |
| Impact | The CVSS 3.1 base score of 4.3 (Medium) is consistent with the available signals: network-reachable via a malicious webpage, no authentication required, but user interaction is necessary and impact is confined to availability. EPSS data was not provided in the intelligence feed, so exploitation probability cannot be quantified numerically. KEV status is absent, and no public proof-of-concept has been identified, making opportunistic mass exploitation unlikely at this time. The CVSS vector's Availability:Low rating indicates Safari process-level crash rather than system-wide denial of service, which limits operational impact - even a mid-sized municipal IT team in swidnica managing a fleet of iPhones and Macs should treat this as a routine patch-cycle item rather than an emergency response. The combination of low impact scope, required user interaction, and absence of exploit code suggests this is a genuine medium-severity finding rather than an elevated-risk outlier despite its network accessibility. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker hosts a webpage containing specially crafted web content designed to trigger a buffer boundary violation in WebKit's content processing pipeline. When a user on an unpatched Apple device opens that page in Safari, the malformed content causes Safari to crash unexpectedly, interrupting the browsing session. No public proof-of-concept has been identified, and the limited impact scope (crash only, no code execution) reduces the incentive for weaponization. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Aug 18, 2026
Safari crashes unexpectedly when processing maliciously crafted web content on Apple platforms due to a buffer boundary violation (CWE-119) in the WebKit rendering engine. Affected are all iOS and iPadOS releases prior to 18.7.10 and 26.6.1, and macOS Tahoe prior to 26.6.2. The impact is limited to availability - an attacker-controlled webpage can force Safari to crash - with no confirmed confidentiality or integrity consequence. No public exploit code and no CISA KEV listing have been identified at time of analysis.
RemediationAI
The primary fix is to update to Apple-released patched versions: iOS 18.7.10 or iOS 26.6.1 for iPhone and iPad users, and macOS Tahoe 26.6.2 for Mac users. These updates are available via Settings > General > Software Update on iOS/iPadOS and System Settings > General > Software Update on macOS. Vendor advisories confirming the fix are available at https://support.apple.com/en-us/148281 (iOS 18.7.10), https://support.apple.com/en-us/148282 (iOS/iPadOS 26.6.1), and https://support.apple.com/en-us/148287 (macOS Tahoe 26.6.2). If immediate patching is not feasible, a practical compensating control is to avoid visiting untrusted or unknown websites in Safari until the update is applied; using an alternative browser does not mitigate the risk if web content is later opened in Safari. No additional workarounds beyond patching have been published by Apple.

Technical ContextAI · show details
WebKit is Apple's open-source browser engine powering Safari across iOS, iPadOS, and macOS. CWE-119 (Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer) covers cases where a program reads or writes memory outside the intended buffer boundaries. Apple's advisory language - 'addressed with improved checks' - is consistent with added bounds validation or input sanitization in the web content parsing or rendering pipeline. The CPE strings (cpe:2.3:a:apple:ios_and_ipados and cpe:2.3:a:apple:macos) confirm the flaw spans all supported Apple operating-system tiers that ship Safari. Because the CVSS Scope is Unchanged and impact is Availability:Low, the overflow likely causes a controlled process crash rather than arbitrary code execution - a heap- or stack-guard mechanism appears to contain it at crash-level rather than allowing exploitation for code flow hijacking.

A buffer overflow occurs when a program writes more data to a memory buffer than it was allocated to hold, causing the excess data to spill into adjacent memory regions.
