CVE-2018-4121 is a memory corruption vulnerability in the WebKit component used by multiple Apple products, including iOS (before 11.3), Safari (before 11.1), iCloud for Windows (before 7.4), iTunes for Windows (before 12.7.4), tvOS (before 11.3), and watchOS (before 4.3). The vulnerability can be triggered by a remote attacker through a specially crafted web page, leading to memory corruption and potentially allowing arbitrary code execution or application crash.

This repository is a proof-of-concept (POC) exploit for CVE-2018-4121, a remote code execution vulnerability in Safari 11.0.3 on macOS 10.13.3. The exploit leverages a WebAssembly section parsing bug to achieve arbitrary code execution in the browser context. The structure includes: - 'exploit.html': The main page to be loaded in Safari, which includes the exploit and payload scripts. - 'exploit.js': The core exploit logic, which performs heap spraying, info leak, and vtable manipulation to redirect execution to attacker-controlled code. - 'alert_payload.m': An example Objective-C payload that, when compiled as a dylib, shows an alert dialog. Any dylib can be used as a payload. - 'file_to_jsarray.py': A helper script to convert a compiled dylib into a JavaScript array for inclusion as 'payload.js'. - 'README.md': Documentation and usage instructions. To use the exploit, an attacker compiles their payload as a dylib, converts it to a JS array, serves the files, and lures a target to visit 'exploit.html' in Safari. The exploit is not fully reliable and is version-specific due to hardcoded offsets. The main attack vector is browser-based, requiring user interaction (visiting a malicious page).
