Vulnerability

Description

CVE-2024-44296 is a logic issue in Apple's Web Content processing that allows a crafted web page to bypass Content Security Policy (CSP) enforcement. The root cause was insufficient validation of certain policy directives, which could be manipulated to disable CSP protections [1][2]. Apple addressed the flaw with improved checks across affected platforms.

Exploitation

Scenario

An attacker can exploit this vulnerability by convincing a user to visit a maliciously crafted website. No additional authentication or physical access is required; the attack is entirely web-based. The victim's browser must be running an unpatched version of Safari or WebKit on any affected Apple operating system [1][2][3][4].

Impact

Successful exploitation prevents the Content Security Policy from being enforced, allowing the attacker to bypass security controls designed to mitigate cross-site scripting (XSS) and data injection attacks. This could lead to arbitrary script execution in the context of the victim's browsing session, exposing sensitive user data or enabling further malicious actions [1].

Mitigation

Apple has released patches in Safari 18.1, iOS 17.7.1 and 18.1, iPadOS 17.7.1 and 18.1, macOS Sequoia 15.1, tvOS 18.1, visionOS 2.1, and watchOS 11.1 [1][2][3][4]. Users should update their devices immediately. There is no evidence this CVE is listed in CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog, but prompt patching is recommended.
