Detection & IOCsextracted from sources · hover to see the quote
- →Vulnerability resides in the WebKit component; detection should focus on WebKit-based browsers and rendering engines processing maliciously crafted web content ↗
- →Affected component is WebKit across multiple Apple platforms (Safari, tvOS, macOS, iOS/iPadOS, watchOS); monitor for exploitation attempts targeting WebKit's input validation in these environments ↗
- →On Debian-based Linux systems, the vulnerable package is webkitgtk; patch to version 2.38.3-1 or later to remediate ↗
- →On Red Hat/CentOS systems, the vulnerable packages are webkitgtk and webkitgtk3; network-accessible attack vector — monitor for unusual web content delivery to WebKitGTK-consuming applications ↗
- ·No public exploit code, malicious samples, or specific IOCs (hashes, IPs, domains, URLs) have been disclosed for this CVE in the available sources; detection relies on version-based patching verification and behavioral monitoring of WebKit processes ↗
- ·Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 (webkitgtk) and RHEL 7 (webkitgtk3) are listed as 'Out of support scope', meaning no official patch will be provided for those platforms ↗

CVE-2022-46699 WebKitGTK vulnerabilities
Title: WebKitGTK vulnerabilities
Summary: Several security issues were fixed in WebKitGTK.
Several 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.
