Detection & IOCsextracted from sources · hover to see the quote
- →Vulnerability is in WebKit's cookie management; look for cross-site scripting payloads delivered via maliciously crafted web content targeting WebKit-based browsers on Intel-based Mac systems ↗
- →The exploited component is WebKit's cookie state management; monitor for anomalous cookie manipulation or injection in WebKit-based browsers (Safari, WebKitGTK, Epiphany) ↗
- →Active exploitation confirmed on Intel-based Mac systems; prioritize detection and patching on that platform specifically ↗
- →CISA KEV listed; treat as actively exploited in the wild — apply mitigations or discontinue use of unpatched Apple products ↗
- ·Fixed versions are Safari 18.1.1, iOS/iPadOS 17.7.2, iOS/iPadOS 18.1.1, macOS Sequoia 15.1.1, visionOS 2.1.1, and WebKitGTK 2.46.4; systems running older versions remain vulnerable ↗
- ·Linux/Debian users running WebKitGTK are also affected; fixed in WebKitGTK 2.46.4-1 across Debian stable/testing/sid branches ↗
- ·After patching WebKitGTK on Ubuntu/Debian, applications using WebKitGTK (e.g., Epiphany) must be restarted to apply the fix ↗

CVE-2024-44309 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.

CVE-2024-44308 [HIGH] Apple fixes two zero-days used in attacks on Intel-based Macs
## Apple fixes two zero-days used in attacks on Intel-based Macs
## Lawrence Abrams
The JavaScriptCore CVE-2024-44308 flaw allows attackers to achieve remote code execution through maliciously crafted web content. The other flaw, CVE-2024-44309, allows cross-site scripting (CSS) attacks.
The company says it addressed the security flaws in macOS Sequoia 15.1.1 .
As the same components are found in other Apple operating systems, it was also fixed in iOS 17.7.2 and iPadOS 17.7.2 , iOS 18.1.1 and iPadOS 18.1.1 , and visionOS 2.1.1 .
While Apple says both flaws were discovered by Clément Lecigne and Benoît Sevens of Google's Threat Analysis Group, the company has not provided further details on how they were exploited.
