CVE-2017-7089 is a Universal Cross-Site Scripting (UXSS) vulnerability in the WebKit component of Apple iOS (up to 10.3.2), Safari (prior to 11.0), and iCloud for Windows (prior to 7.0). The vulnerability arises from a logic flaw in parent-tab handling, allowing a remote attacker to execute arbitrary scripts in the context of another user via a crafted website. Exploitation requires user interaction but no authentication.

This repository demonstrates a proof-of-concept exploit for CVE-2017-7089, a universal cross-site scripting (UXSS) vulnerability in Safari 10. The exploit leverages a logic flaw in Safari's handling of the 'parent-tab://' protocol, allowing an attacker to bypass the Same-Origin Policy (SOP). The repository contains two files: a README.md with a description and example payloads, and an index.html file that automates the exploit by triggering a crafted link on page load. The exploit works by opening a new tab with the 'parent-tab://' protocol targeting a domain (e.g., apple.com or google.com), then injecting JavaScript to steal cookies or other sensitive data. The main attack vector is browser-based, requiring the victim to visit a malicious page. The endpoints 'parent-tab://apple.com' and 'parent-tab://google.com' are used as part of the exploit to target different domains. The exploit is a proof-of-concept and does not include weaponized or customizable payloads.
