A critical bug has been discovered in Safari that could leak user personal data. The good news is a fix is fast on its way. Here’s what you need to know.
A nasty bug in Safari has been discovered, and Apple has made available an update to MacOS Monterey and iOS that should solve the critical flaw.
As originally reported by MacRumors, the issue revolves around WebKit and its implementation with IndexedDB JavaScript sites. Any websites using this API can see the names of other IndexedDB databases and any associated data. WebKit is an open-source browser engine developed by Apple. All mobile browsers on iOS run on WebKit, but it is also used on devices such as Sony PlayStation consoles and Amazon Kindle e-readers. None of those devices, however, are affected by the bug.
According to MacRumors, “After updating to the macOS Monterey 12.2 RC and the iOS 15.3 RC, the demo website no longer detects any data.”
