Apple Patches Safari Flaw Previously Exploited Against Chrome Users

Apple released security updates Tuesday fixing dozens of vulnerabilities, including CVE-2025-6558, a bug already exploited against Chrome users. Google patched this flaw in Chrome 138 last July after discovering active attacks targeting its graphics components. The vulnerability lets attackers escape browser sandboxes through malicious web pages.

Apple's updates cover iOS 18.6, macOS Sequoia 15.6, and other platforms, patching 87 CVEs in macOS alone. While there's no evidence Safari users were targeted, the flaw could crash the browser when visiting malicious sites. CISA previously flagged this as a critical threat requiring federal agencies to patch by August 12.
