CVE-2025-24201 is an out-of-bounds write vulnerability in Apple's WebKit browser engine. The flaw can be triggered when WebKit processes maliciously crafted web content, leading to memory corruption. Apple indicated the issue was addressed through improved checks to prevent unauthorized actions. Successful exploitation may allow an attacker to break out of the Web Content sandbox, and reporting around the issue indicates this can lead to remote code execution. Apple described the fix as a supplementary correction for an attack path that had previously been blocked in iOS 17.2, and stated the vulnerability may have been exploited in highly targeted attacks against users running iOS versions prior to 17.2. Fixed versions include Safari 18.3.1, iOS 15.8.4, iPadOS 15.8.4, iOS 16.7.11, iPadOS 16.7.11, iPadOS 17.7.6, iOS 18.3.2, iPadOS 18.3.2, macOS Sequoia 15.3.2, visionOS 2.3.2, and watchOS 11.4.

This repository is a multi-file Apple WebKit/JSC exploit research collection centered on CVE-2024-23222, with numerous auxiliary HTML PoCs for other Safari/WebKit vulnerabilities. It is not a framework module; it is a standalone research repo containing browser-delivered exploit pages, a local Python HTTP collector, and one native C helper. Structure: - README.md documents the intended full exploit chain: a malicious HTML page triggers CVE-2024-23222 in JavaScriptCore, obtains addrof/read64/write64 primitives, then uses a crafted WebAssembly indirect-call trampoline to invoke native libc functions on an A11 iPhone X running iOS 16.4.1. The documented post-exploitation action is opening and writing /tmp/pwned_cve_2024_23222, presented as proof of sandbox escape. - poc/server.py is the operator-side infrastructure. It serves HTML files over HTTP on port 8765, exposes GET/POST /results for telemetry collection, and GET/POST /signal for auxiliary signaling. - find_gigacage.c is a native Mach-based memory scanner that uses task_for_pid, vm_region_recurse_64, and vm_read to locate JSC/Gigacage-related regions and sentinels in another process. This supports exploit development and address discovery rather than remote exploitation. - poc/exploit_23222.html is an earlier standalone Stage 1 exploit for CVE-2024-23222. It contains the core exploitation logic: WebAssembly modules, type confusion setup, arbitrary read/write primitives, addrof, and JIT/JSC structure offset handling. It posts progress markers and results back to /results. - poc/ironloader_diag.html is a diagnostic page for CVE-2023-32409 (“IronLoader”), reusing similar Stage 1 primitives and adding logic to inspect IPC/GPU-related structures. - The remaining poc/cve-*.html files are mostly self-contained browser PoCs or vulnerability checkers for specific CVEs. They generally trigger a suspicious code path, observe crashes/misbehavior, and POST a verdict plus logs to /results. Several are more detection-oriented than weaponized. Main exploit capabilities: - Browser-based initial access via a malicious HTML page. - JSC/WebAssembly memory corruption leading to arbitrary address disclosure and 64-bit read/write in the renderer. - Arbitrary native function invocation by overwriting a WASM indirect-call target slot. - Demonstrated sandbox escape behavior by calling _open/_write on /tmp/pwned_cve_2024_23222. - Extensive telemetry/logging back to a local HTTP server. Notable targeting details: - Primary target is Apple iPhone X (A11, no PAC), iOS 16.4.1, Safari 16.4.1. - The exploit assumes device/version-specific offsets and an ASLR slide known in advance/offline. - README explicitly notes limitations such as inability to directly read dyld cache from JS and failure of mmap(PROT_EXEC), indicating this is a real exploit-development repo rather than a simple detector. Assessment: - The repository contains genuine exploit code and PoCs. The main CVE-2024-23222 chain is operational but environment-specific, with a basic hardcoded payload (proof-file creation) rather than a flexible post-exploitation framework. Auxiliary files broaden the repo into a WebKit vulnerability lab with multiple browser-based tests and diagnostics.
