Detection & IOCsextracted from sources · hover to see the quote

  • The vulnerability is triggered via a crafted web page that uses specific CSS and HTML elements combined with JavaScript to cause a use-after-free in WebCore::AXObjectCache::performDeferredCacheUpdate(). The PoC uses a <colgroup> with display:table-footer-group, a class with text-transform:capitalize and display:-webkit-box, and sets aria-labeledby on a col element.
  • The exploit requires accessibility features to be enabled in the browser. On Safari on Mac, simply opening the developer inspector enables accessibility features, making the bug triggerable.
  • The use-after-free crash occurs in WebCore::AXObjectCache::performDeferredCacheUpdate() — monitor for crashes or heap-use-after-free reports in WebCore processes involving this function.
  • The JavaScript trigger sets a selection range, changes defaultSelected on an option element, and sets aria-labeledby attribute on a col element — look for this pattern in web content.
  • ·Accessibility features must be enabled for the vulnerability to be exploitable. On WebKitGTK+ and possibly other WebKit releases, accessibility is enabled by default, broadening the attack surface.
