In a world where our devices serve as extensions of our lives, Apple ’s latest security alert is a sharp reminder of how fragile that connection can be. This time, the tech giant is urging Mac users to act fast. If you’re using an Intel-based Mac, this news should be on your radar.Picture this: you’re browsing the web, reading news, or shopping online. Everything feels normal, but beneath the surface is a vulnerability in your computer—a flaw unknown to even the company that made it.
A malicious script is embedded in a website or ad. When loaded in the browser, the script exploits the vulnerability, bypassing protections that normally isolate JavaScript from accessing sensitive system-level resources. Once the code executes, it can steal personal information, install malware, or even grant the attacker remote access to the system.WebKit is Apple’s open-source browser engine that renders web pages.
The exploit involves sending carefully crafted web content that causes WebKit to mishandle memory during processing. This creates a “buffer overflow” or similar memory corruption issue, allowing the attacker to insert and run their own code.
