Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

dbcve analysis · moderate confidence

A memory corruption vulnerability in WebKit (Safari) was addressed through improved state management. Processing maliciously crafted web content triggers the memory corruption, leading to unexpected Safari crashes. The CVSS 8.8 indicates potential for more severe impact beyond denial of service.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.

dbcve checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Identify the Safari version on macOS or iOS
    Open Safari and go to Safari > About Safari (macOS) or Settings > Safari > About (iOS/iPadOS). Note the version number displayed.
    Affected if The version shown is less than 26.6 (for example, 26.5.x or earlier)
  2. Identify the iOS or iPadOS version
    Open Settings > General > About on the device. Note the version number next to 'Software Version'.
    Affected if The version number is less than 26.6 (for example, 26.5.x or earlier)
  3. Identify the macOS version
    Open System Settings > General > About (or Apple menu > About This Mac). Note the version number (such as 26.0, 26.5).
    Affected if The macOS version is 26.0, 26.1, 26.2, 26.3, 26.4, or 26.5 (any version >= 26.0 but < 26.6)
  4. Identify the visionOS version
    Open Settings > General > About on the Vision Pro device. Note the version number.
    Affected if The version is less than 26.6 (for example, 26.5.x or earlier)
  5. Identify the watchOS version
    Open Settings > General > About on the Apple Watch, or open the Watch app on iPhone and go to My Watch > General > About. Note the version number.
    Affected if The version is less than 26.6 (for example, 26.5.x or earlier)

You are affected if any Apple device (Safari, iOS, iPadOS, macOS 26.0-26.5, visionOS, or watchOS) in your environment is running a version lower than 26.6, since the vulnerability exists in WebKit and can be triggered by processing malicious web content.
