CVE-2020-9807Network attack vector

Arbitrary code execution via WebKit state corruption

Published Jun 9, 2020 · Updated Aug 4, 2024

Memory corruption in WebKit across affected Apple products allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via crafted web content. WebKit mishandles internal object state while processing attacker-controlled page content, corrupting memory. A user must cause an affected WebKit client to process the content; successful exploitation runs attacker-controlled code in that client context.
