A security researcher with the github handle pwnsdx has found a way to crash and restart any Apple device using Safari by just rendering a webpage !
POC Code: https://gist.github.com/pwnsdx/ce64de2760996a6c432f06d612e33aea
CLICK ON THIS LINK ONLY IF YOU ARE NOT USING SAFARI BROWSER ON AN APPLE DEVICE
Sabri Haddouche tweeted a proof-of-concept webpage with just 15 lines of code
The code exploits a weakness in iOS’ web rendering engine WebKit, which Apple mandates all apps and browsers use.
Anything that renders HTML using Safari on a Apple device is affected
That means anyone sending you a link on Facebook or Twitter, or if any webpage you visit includes the code careful before opening it !
