Universal cross-site scripting in WebKit in affected Apple products allows remote attackers to execute script via malicious web content. Apple identifies incorrect WebKit state management but has not published the affected state transition or code locus. Processing the content requires user interaction, after which attacker-controlled script can read or modify data across web origins.
