CVE-2026-112693 · Severity: info · Published 2026-10-26

Safari, Apple's web browser, contains a use-after-free vulnerability in memory management that could allow malicious web content to crash the browser unexpectedly. An attacker could craft a malicious webpage that exploits this flaw, potentially leading to denial of service or, in rare cases, code execution if an attacker chains it with other vulnerabilities. The issue affects Safari on macOS, iOS, and iPadOS.

## Technical details

A use-after-free vulnerability exists in Safari's WebContent rendering engine where memory is accessed after it has been freed, caused by improper memory management. The vulnerability is triggered by processing maliciously crafted web content delivered over the network, requiring only that a user visits or interacts with a compromised webpage. Exploitation results in unexpected Safari crashes; code execution is not confirmed but use-after-free flaws can sometimes be chained for memory corruption attacks.

## Affected products

- Apple Safari before 27.2
- Apple iOS before 26.7.2, 27.2
- Apple iPadOS before 26.7.2, 27.2
- Apple macOS Golden Gate before 27.2
- Apple visionOS before 27.2
