# CVE-2024-44308: Apple Multiple Products Code Execution Vulnerability

**Signal:** Exploited: patch now if you run it. CISA has confirmed exploitation in the wild. (Computed from CISA KEV, EPSS and CVSS; not an editorial verdict.)

## Should you act?

- Yes, if you run Apple Multiple Products. CISA added this CVE to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog on 2024-11-21, which means there is reliable evidence of exploitation in the wild. US federal agencies must remediate by 2024-12-12 ; treat that as the outer limit, not the target.
- EPSS 10.2% , percentile 96: FIRST’s model estimates a 10.2% chance of exploitation activity in the next 30 days, higher than 96% of all scored CVEs (very high). EPSS is a probability, not a verdict.
- Needs a user to click or open something. Phishing makes that realistic, but it is not wormable.

## What it is

The issue was addressed with improved checks. This issue is fixed in Safari 18.1.1, iOS 17.7.2 and iPadOS 17.7.2, iOS 18.1.1 and iPadOS 18.1.1, macOS Sequoia 15.1.1, visionOS 2.1.1. Processing maliciously crafted web content may lead to arbitrary code execution. Apple is aware of a report that this issue may have been actively exploited on Intel-based Mac systems.

## Affected products (CVE record)

- Apple Safari: < 18.1.1
- Apple iOS and iPadOS: < 17.7.2, < 18.1.1

## Severity

## Exploitation

- CISA KEV: added 2024-11-21; federal due date 2024-12-12. Known ransomware use: Unknown.
- CISA required action: Apply mitigations per vendor instructions or discontinue use of the product if mitigations are unavailable.
- CISA SSVC assessment: exploitation active , automatable no , technical impact total .
- FIRST EPSS (model of 2026-10-21): 10.16% probability of exploitation activity in the next 30 days; percentile 96.
