CVE-2018-4218

43
FAUCET Score

CVE-2018-4218 is a critical use-after-free vulnerability in WebKit, affecting multiple Apple products including iOS, Safari, iCloud for Windows, iTunes for Windows, tvOS, and watchOS. This flaw allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service by enticing users to visit a specially crafted website. With a CVSS score of 8.8 (High), it presents a significant risk due to its network-based attack vector, low attack complexity, and high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. While not currently on CISA's KEV catalog or actively exploited, public exploit code exists, and its high EPSS and FAUCET scores indicate a strong potential for future exploitation, despite limited community discussion or media coverage.
