Cross-site WebAuthn credential claiming via suffix validation
Published Mar 31, 2025 · Updated Jul 8, 2026
Improper input validation in Apple products allows remote attackers to claim WebAuthn credentials through a malicious website. Authentication Services fails to reject a credential claim when the requesting and credential-bearing sites share a registrable suffix. The target must visit attacker-controlled web content, and the consequence is unauthorized use of credentials scoped to a different site.
