Safari before 10.1.2 is affected. iCloud before 6.2.2 on Windows is affected. iTunes before 12.6.2 on Windows is affected. tvOS before 10.2.2 is affected. The issue involves the "WebKit" component. It allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (memory corruption and application crash) via a crafted web site.

Detection & IOCsextracted from sources · hover to see the quote

commanddir.setAttribute("aria-labeledby", "map")
  • The vulnerability is triggered via a Use-After-Free in WebCore::AccessibilityNodeObject::textUnderElement, initiated by setting the 'aria-labeledby' attribute on a DOM element after hiding a list item — look for crafted HTML pages manipulating ARIA attributes in conjunction with hidden elements.
  • The exploit call chain passes through WebCore::AccessibilityNodeObject::ariaLabeledByAttribute() -> ariaAccessibilityDescription() -> hasAttributesRequiredForInclusion() -> AXObjectCache::textChanged(), triggered by a setAttribute JS call on page load; monitor for WebKit processes crashing in accessibility-related code paths.
  • The UAF is triggered on the window 'load' event via a JavaScript handler that hides a list item and then sets an aria-labeledby attribute; detection should focus on pages combining li.hidden=true with immediate setAttribute('aria-labeledby', ...) calls in onload handlers.
  • ·The PoC was developed and tested against a local WebKit build (WebKitBuild/Release), not a specific shipping browser binary; offsets in stack traces are build-specific and not directly usable for binary-level detection against production builds.
