Attack Vector: Network

Scope: Unchanged
Confidentiality: None
Integrity: Low
Availability: None

Bold values are the worst case: easiest to exploit or largest impact.

Attack Vector: Network: The vulnerable component is bound to the network stack and the set of possible attackers extends beyond the other options listed, up to and including the entire Internet. Such a vulnerability is often termed 'remotely exploitable' and can be thought of as an attack being exploitable at the protocol level one or more network hops away (e.g., across one or more routers).
Attack Complexity: Low: Specialized access conditions or extenuating circumstances do not exist. An attacker can expect repeatable success against the vulnerable component.
Privileges Required: None: The attacker is unauthorized prior to attack, and therefore does not require any access to settings or files to carry out an attack.
User Interaction: Required: Successful exploitation of this vulnerability requires a user to take some action before the vulnerability can be exploited.
Scope: Unchanged: An exploited vulnerability can only affect resources managed by the same security authority. In this case, the vulnerable component and the impacted component are either the same, or both are managed by the same security authority.
Confidentiality: None: There is no loss of confidentiality within the impacted component.
Integrity: Low: Modification of data is possible, but the attacker does not have control over the consequence of a modification, or the amount of modification is limited. The data modification does not have a direct, serious impact on the impacted component.
Availability: None: There is no impact to availability within the impacted component.

Exploitation evidence

Disclosed: evidence found.
CVE published 27 Jan 2025
Detectable: no evidence on record.
No public nuclei template indexed
Weaponised: no evidence on record.
No public exploit code indexed in Metasploit or Exploit-DB
Exploited in the wildExploited: no evidence on record.
Not in CISA KEV and no source reports exploitation
Observed by OffSeq MirageSeen by Mirage: no evidence on record.
No attack traffic recorded by OffSeq Mirage sensors

A missing step is not evidence of safety. Sources: cve.org (opens in a new tab), the Metasploit, Exploit-DB and nuclei-templates index as of 2026-10-25.

Disclosed: The CVE record is public on cve.org. Its publication is t = 0.
Detectable: A public nuclei template can find exposed instances, for defenders and attackers alike.
Weaponised: Public exploit code exists in Metasploit or Exploit-DB, or CISA SSVC reports a public proof of concept.
Exploited in the wild: CISA KEV lists it, CISA SSVC rates exploitation active, or a source reports attacks.
Observed by OffSeq Mirage: OffSeq Mirage honeypot sensors recorded attack traffic for this CVE, or found exposed hosts without attack traffic.

Moments are spaced evenly, not to scale; a dashed line marks a gap of six months or more. Deltas count from t = 0. Sources that give only a date (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, or a time of exactly 00:00Z) read “same day” rather than hours. Metasploit modules carry the flaw’s disclosure date, not their release date, and nuclei templates carry no date, so both appear above but not on the timeline.

AI-suggested

To mitigate CVE-2025-24113, organizations and users should immediately update Safari to version 18.3 or later and ensure all Apple devices are running the corresponding patched OS versions: iOS 18.3/18.4, iPadOS 17.7.6/18.3/18.4, macOS Sequoia 15.3/15.4, visionOS 2.3/2.4, and watchOS 11.4. Beyond patching, organizations should implement user awareness training focused on recognizing phishing attempts and suspicious websites. Deploying web filtering solutions that block access to known malicious sites can reduce exposure. Enforcing strict content security policies and using browser extensions that highlight URL authenticity may help users detect spoofing attempts. Monitoring network traffic for unusual patterns and employing endpoint detection tools can assist in early detection of exploitation attempts. For high-risk environments, consider restricting Safari usage or enforcing alternative browsers with different security postures until patches are applied. Regular vulnerability scanning and compliance checks should verify that all Apple devices remain up to date. Finally, incident response plans should include procedures for phishing attack investigation and remediation.

Description

The issue was addressed with improved UI. This issue is fixed in Safari 18.3, Safari 18.4, iOS 18.3 and iPadOS 18.3, iOS 18.4 and iPadOS 18.4, iPadOS 17.7.6, macOS Sequoia 15.3, macOS Sequoia 15.4, visionOS 2.3, visionOS 2.4, watchOS 11.4. Visiting a malicious website may lead to user interface spoofing.

Impact

The primary impact of CVE-2025-24113 is on the integrity of the user interface, enabling attackers to deceive users by presenting fake browser UI elements. This can lead to successful phishing attacks, credential theft, or unauthorized actions performed by users under false pretenses. While the vulnerability does not directly compromise system confidentiality or availability, the indirect consequences can be severe, including account compromise, data leakage, and financial fraud. Since the attack vector is a malicious website, any user visiting such a site on an unpatched Safari browser is at risk. Organizations with employees or customers using affected Apple devices may face increased phishing risks, potentially undermining trust and leading to security incidents. The lack of known exploits in the wild suggests limited immediate threat, but the ease of exploitation and widespread device usage mean the risk could escalate rapidly if exploited. The vulnerability also affects multiple Apple platforms, broadening the scope of affected systems globally.
