The attack can be launched remotely. The exploitation doesn't need any form of authentication. Technical details are unknown but a public exploit is available. The price for an exploit might be around USD $0-$5k at the moment (estimation calculated on 03/18/2021). It is expected to see the exploit prices for this product increasing in the near future.

It is declared as proof-of-concept. We expect the 0-day to have been worth approximately $25k-$100k. The vulnerability scanner Nessus provides a plugin with the ID 47751 (FreeBSD : webkit-gtk2 -- Multiple vulnerabilities (19419b3b-92bd-11df-b140-0015f2db7bde)), which helps to determine the existence of the flaw in a target environment. It is assigned to the family FreeBSD Local Security Checks.
