12.0.1. A new exploit was published in its entirety the other day by a hacker, and those who analyzed it claim that it could allow the development of a jailbreak solution. We are talking about an RCE exploit for Webkit, that is, one that would allow the injection of jailbreak software through Safari, on any version up to 12.0.1.
12.0.1. Of course, at the moment the Apple company no longer signs this version of the operating system, and only those who have already installed it could benefit from a possible jailbreak solution. The viability of this exploit for 12.0.1 is confirmed by another well-known hacker who has developed jailbreak solutions in the past, so it's pretty clear that it's all real.
12.0.1. New Exploit could bring a Jailbreak Solution
kudima (@begger_dd) submitted another Webkit RCE exploit to the repository! He wrote the entire exploit along with a very detailed annotation, which works up to iOS 12.0.1. Thanks again @begger_dd for the contribution! ?https://t.co/nKyHiuMd1e

12.0.1. Since this version of iOS is no longer signed, it no longer matters to Apple, so any jailbreak solution will not be important to Americans. The bad part is that any jailbreak solution for 12.0.1 will only be available to a small number of iPhone and iPad users, as is usually the case.
12.0.1. Unfortunately, it is improbable that this exploit can be combined with another one that would also allow a jailbreak solution for 12.1, and this is because no hacker will give up such a thing. Since the exploit for 12.0.1 has been revealed, it is clear that it is no longer useful for hackers, who only reveal exploits after they no longer have anything to do with them.
