WebKit/Safari based iOS 14.5 Jailbreak work in progress by Manticore Team member Pwnage.
According to him, the current exploit is only for iOS 14.5+ as it exploits a vulnerability in audioworklet. iOS 14.5 has a new version of the WebKit engine, changes in WKWebView, Safari 14.1 as the browser, and an updated engine for PWAs. This new feature inevitably includes unverified code. He is going to achieve a Webkit /Safari based jailbreak for iOS 14 using this exploit.
More about Webkit exploit
Developer ujin5 released the exploit using the audioworklet bug. However, this is the same exploit he tested on iOS 14.1 & added a safari webkit exploit for 14.4.2 and lower. Also, he said that did not clean up exploit code & didn’t include bypass pac and fully arbitrary R/W. According to him this bug is already patched on the webkit trunk but alive on stable version yet.
Apple released iOS 14.5.1 and macOS Big Sur 11.3.1 a few weeks ago to fix this WebKit exploit. Also, Apple has released Safari 14.1.1 with WebKit patch for macOS Catalina and Mojave to fix many bugs including this.
On the other hand, there is no kernel exploit for 14.4+ yet. But there are multiple kernel vulnerabilities exists on these versions. That may be usable to write the exploit to develop potential jailbreaks for iOS 14.4 & higher.
iOS 14.3 and lower versions have cicuta_virosa exploit and already there are Unc0ver jailbreak & Taurine jailbreak for these versions. Even though the Manticore team has not released Manticore jailbreak for iOS 14 – iOS 14.3 yet.
Meanwhile, Pwnage has announced in discord that they are giving away a slot in the Manticore beta testing program. So, we can assume Manticore will be released soon. But we have no idea yet whether Manticore will release iOS 14 – iOS 14.3 and this new WebKit/Safari based Jailbreak only for 14.4 & higher jailbreak or whether Manticore will be a WebKit/Safari based Jailbreak for all iOS 14 & higher versions.
