It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: Yes. Attackers have exploited CVE-2016-4655 in the wild since at least 24 May 2022.\n\nAffected product: Apple Iphone Os. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-4655/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-4655/index.md)","id":"CVE-2016-4655","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-4655/index.md","name":"CVE-2016-4655","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-32m2-83j8-f3hg"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_read"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"iOS kernel","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can obtain sensitive memory information via a crafted app on iOS, requiring an OS upgrade to mitigate.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"information_disclosure"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"apple","cpe":[{"product":"iphone_os","vendor":"apple"}],"cvss":{"score":5.5,"severity":"medium","source":"cisa-adp","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[],"description":"The kernel in Apple iOS before 9.3.5 allows attackers to obtain sensitive information from memory via a crafted app.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":1,"first_seen":"2016-08-25","github_poc":2,"max_poc_stars":102,"metasploit":1,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2016-10-02T12:42:14Z","kind":"github_poc","ref":"https://github.com/jndok/PegasusX","stars":102,"title":"OS X 10.11.6 LPE PoC for CVE-2016-4655 / CVE-2016-4656"},{"date":"2018-01-09T07:44:50Z","kind":"github_poc","ref":"https://github.com/Cryptiiiic/skybreak","stars":9,"title":"8.4.1 Jailbreak using CVE-2016-4655 / CVE-2016-4656"},{"date":"2016-08-25","kind":"metasploit","ref":"exploit/apple_ios/browser/webkit_trident","stars":null,"title":"WebKit not_number defineProperties UAF"},{"date":"2018-06-05","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"44836","stars":null,"title":"WebKit - not_number defineProperties UAF (Metasploit)"}],"tier":"exploited"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Apple iOS Information Disclosure","id":"CVE-2016-4655","indexable":true,"kev":{"dateAdded":"2022-05-24","dueDate":"2022-06-14","knownRansomwareCampaignUse":"Unknown","product":"iOS","requiredAction":"Apply updates per vendor instructions.","vendorProject":"Apple","vulnerabilityName":"Apple iOS Information Disclosure Vulnerability"},"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"apple:iphone_os","products":["apple:iphone_os"],"type":"information_disclosure","year":"2016"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":9,"next":{"headline":"Apple iOS Memory Corruption","id":"CVE-2016-4656"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-4654"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2016-08-25","related":[{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Apple iOS WebKit Buffer Overflow","id":"CVE-2021-30666","kev_date_added":"2021-11-03","published":"2021-09-08"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Apple iOS WebKit Memory Corruption","id":"CVE-2021-30761","kev_date_added":"2021-11-03","published":"2021-09-08"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Apple iOS WebKit Use-After-Free","id":"CVE-2021-30762","kev_date_added":"2021-11-03","published":"2021-09-08"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Apple iOS Webkit Memory Corruption","id":"CVE-2016-4657","kev_date_added":"2022-05-24","published":"2016-08-25"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Apple Multiple Products Memory Corruption","id":"CVE-2019-7286","kev_date_added":"2022-05-23","published":"2019-12-18"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Apple iOS Memory Corruption","id":"CVE-2019-7287","kev_date_added":"2022-05-23","published":"2019-12-18"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Apple Multiple Products Use-After-Free","id":"CVE-2019-8605","kev_date_added":"2022-06-27","published":"2019-12-18"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"open","licence":"CC0 1.0","name":"CISA KEV"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"BSD-3-Clause","name":"Metasploit"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"GPL-2.0-or-later","name":"Exploit-DB"},{"class":"open","licence":"CC0","name":"PoC-in-GitHub"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"active","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2025-10-21","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Attackers can obtain sensitive memory information via a crafted app on iOS, requiring an OS upgrade to mitigate.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-4655/"}
