Seriously? *One* Vulnerability?

Right, so Apple finally bothered to release a patch. A single vulnerability, CVE-2025-43400, in WebKit. Apparently, some bad actor could cause the browser to crash and potentially execute arbitrary code. Shocking. Absolutely fucking shocking that a browser *can* crash. Like we haven’t seen that before.

It affects basically everything Apple makes – iPhones, iPads, Macs, even the goddamn Apple Watches. So if you’re still using one of those overpriced paperweights, update it. Now. Before some script kiddie takes advantage of this monumental flaw. It’s a use-after-free issue in WebKit, meaning memory corruption is involved. Because *of course* it is.

The fix? Update your operating system. Groundbreaking stuff here, people. Truly innovative. They claim they’re aware of reports of exploitation “in the wild,” which means someone was probably already poking holes in this before they even bothered to acknowledge it existed. Don’t expect a detailed explanation though, Apple doesn’t do details.

Honestly, I’m starting to think their security model is just “hope nobody notices.”

Look, back in ’98, I had a user who refused to patch his Windows 95 machine. Said it made Solitaire run slower. Slower! He got owned by Melissa within three days. Three days. This Apple thing feels like that, but with more money involved and less common sense.
