Well, I shouldn't have clicked this. This claims to ask for confirmation before running the exploit and my wallpaper hasn't really changed yet

Definitely not the title ( IonStack )

> but good news, Nebula Security found it before attackers do. Which is why they released the code to the exploit before it's been patched, meaning bad actors now likely have months to profit off it before a meaningful % of devices are patched. Good news I guess?

From the linked source code [0], the vulnerabilities are: CVE-2026-10702 [1]: A crafted JavaScript payload can trigger JIT miscompilation in Firefox versions prior to 151.0.3, leading to type confusion and potential renderer crashes or memory corruption. CVE-2026-43499 [2]: When the kernel's real-time mutex (rtmutex) component performs a specific operation called 'proxy-lock rollback' during futex requeue, it incorrectly handles task pointers. This can lead to a 'Use-After-Free' (UAF) vulnerability, where the system attempts to use memory that has already been released. A local attacker could potentially exploit this to gain elevated privileges or execute unauthorized code. 0: https://github.com/NebuSec/CyberMeowfia/tree/main/IonStack 1: https://www.sentinelone.com/vulnerability-database/cve-2026-... 2: https://access.redhat.com/security/cve/cve-2026-43499
