An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: Yes. Attackers have exploited CVE-2022-42856 in the wild since at least 14 Dec 2022.\n\nAffected product: Apple Ipados. 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-2022-42856/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-42856/index.md)","id":"CVE-2022-42856","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-42856/index.md","name":"CVE-2022-42856","record":{"aliases":["ALSA-2023:0016","ALSA-2023:0021","DEBIAN-CVE-2022-42856","GHSA-qh2r-8xvg-hm24","RHSA-2023:0016","RHSA-2023:0021","RLSA-2023:0016","RLSA-2023:0021","SUSE-SU-2022:4634-1","UBUNTU-CVE-2022-42856"],"analysis":{"component_type":"browser","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Apple Safari","requires_auth":"none","summary":"A type confusion vulnerability in Safari allows arbitrary code execution via malicious web content, requiring users to update their Apple devices.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"memory_corruption"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"apple","cpe":[{"product":"ipados","vendor":"apple"},{"product":"iphone_os","vendor":"apple"},{"product":"macos","vendor":"apple"},{"product":"safari","vendor":"apple"},{"product":"tvos","vendor":"apple"}],"cvss":{"score":8.8,"severity":"high","source":"cisa-adp","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-843","name":"Access of Resource Using Incompatible Type"}],"description":"A type confusion issue was addressed with improved state handling.
