CVE-2026-28907: Apple Multiple Operating Systems Content Security Policy bypass

CVE-2026-28907 · Severity: high · CVSS 8.1 · Published 2026-05-11

A security vulnerability in Apple's web processing engine could allow maliciously crafted websites to bypass Content Security Policy (CSP) protections. CSP is a critical security layer that helps prevent various types of attacks, such as data theft and unauthorized site modifications. If exploited, an attacker could potentially execute unauthorized actions or access data on websites that the user visits.

Technologies: Apple iPadOS, Apple macOS, Apple Safari, Apple Tvos, Apple Visionos, Apple watchOS. Vendors: Apple.

Technical details

An input validation vulnerability exists in the way Apple's web components process content, leading to a failure in enforcing Content Security Policy (CSP). By enticing a user to process maliciously crafted web content, a remote attacker can bypass CSP restrictions. This could facilitate cross-site scripting (XSS) or other content-injection attacks that CSP is designed to mitigate. The issue was addressed through improved input validation in Safari 26.5, iOS 18.7.9/26.5, iPadOS 18.7.9/26.5, macOS Tahoe 26.5, tvOS 26.5, visionOS 26.5, and watchOS 26.5.
