West Houston, TX – July 30, 2025
Impress IT Solutions, a leading cybersecurity and managed IT service provider in West Houston, is urging local businesses and organizations to stay alert following the discovery of a high-severity vulnerability affecting Apple’s Safari browser—one that has also been exploited as a zero-day in Google Chrome.
The flaw, identified as CVE-2025-6558 with a CVSS score of 8.8, stems from incorrect validation of untrusted input within browser components responsible for rendering graphics (ANGLE and GPU modules). When exploited, this vulnerability can allow malicious actors to escape the browser’s sandbox environment simply by luring users to a specially crafted webpage—opening the door to more severe system compromises.
While Apple issued patches on Tuesday for the vulnerability within the WebKit engine that powers Safari, Impress IT Solutions emphasizes that this issue impacts multiple open-source components, meaning businesses running cross-platform environments are at increased risk.
“This is another reminder of how fast threat actors can weaponize shared vulnerabilities across major platforms,” said a senior analyst at Impress IT Solutions. “Because both Chrome and Safari are affected, businesses using mixed-device environments need to act quickly.”
Google’s Threat Analysis Group (TAG) discovered active exploitation of the flaw earlier this month, and Apple has since confirmed it could cause Safari to crash or behave unexpectedly when processing malicious web content.
What Local Businesses Should Do
Impress IT Solutions recommends that all businesses in West Houston take the following actions immediately:
  • Ensure devices running macOS, iOS, or iPadOS are updated with Apple’s latest security patches.
  • Work with a trusted IT partner like Impress IT Solutions to assess browser usage policies and security configurations.
  • Consider endpoint detection tools that can monitor for signs of browser exploitation.
  • Educate staff on phishing and social engineering risks—especially those involving fake websites or malicious links.
