CVE-2022-22654Network attack vector

Address bar spoofing via malicious website

Published Mar 18, 2022 · Updated Aug 3, 2024

Address bar spoofing in Apple Safari before 15.4 and watchOS before 8.5 allows remote attackers to mislead users via a malicious website. Apple identifies a user-interface issue in Safari that fails to present the trusted address bar state correctly when malicious web content is visited. Exploitation requires the victim to visit attacker-controlled content; the documented impact is deceptive display and does not establish data disclosure, code execution, or service interruption.
