CVE-2022-32833Network attack vector

Browsing-history disclosure via website-data storage paths

Published Dec 15, 2022 · Updated Apr 21, 2025

Information disclosure in WebKit in Apple iOS before 16 allows remote attackers to access browsing history via website-data storage paths. The website-data storage layer uses file paths that expose browsing history, but Apple has not published the affected function or precise path-handling error. No authentication or user interaction is required in the published assessment, and the reported consequence is limited to browsing-history disclosure.
