Iframe sandbox-policy bypass via permission validation failure
Published Jul 27, 2026 · Updated Jul 27, 2026
WebKit permission validation in Apple OS releases and Safari before 26.6 allows remote attackers to violate iframe sandbox policy. WebKit fails to validate permissions correctly when processing attacker-controlled iframe content; Apple has not disclosed the affected function or exact validation error. A user must process the crafted content; the affected products are Safari, iOS, iPadOS, macOS Tahoe, tvOS, visionOS, and watchOS, and the reported consequence is policy bypass rather than host-process code execution.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
