- →Trigger vector is maliciously crafted web content processed by WebKit; monitor for suspicious web content rendering in WebKit-based browsers and applications (Safari, Epiphany, iTunes on Windows) ↗
- →Vulnerability resides in the WebKit component specifically; focus detection on WebKit process activity (e.g., WebContent process crashes, unexpected child process spawning) as indicators of exploitation attempts ↗
- →On Linux/Debian systems, WebKitGTK-based applications (e.g., Epiphany) are affected; monitor for exploitation via WebKitGTK web engine in those apps ↗

CVE-2022-22624 WebKitGTK vulnerabilities
Title: WebKitGTK vulnerabilities
Summary: Several security issues were fixed in WebKitGTK.
A large number of security issues were discovered in the WebKitGTK Web and
JavaScript engines. If a user were tricked into viewing a malicious
website, a remote attacker could exploit a variety of issues related to web
browser security, including cross-site scripting attacks, denial of service
attacks, and arbitrary code execution.
Instructions: This update uses a new upstream release, which includes additional bug
fixes. After a standard system update you need to restart any applications
that use WebKitGTK, such as Epiphany, to make all the necessary changes.
