I'm curious about the likelihood of encountering a Safari exploit on iOS that doesn't require any downloads or configuration profiles. Specifically, how common is it for a WebKit exploit in Safari to maintain persistence after rebooting or updating from iOS 18.3.2 to 18.5 on an iPhone 16?

It's pretty much impossible to have persistent malware without any downloads or config profiles. You’d be fine!
The chances are extremely slim. If someone ever got infected through a Safari exploit, an update should completely erase it. So don’t stress too much about it!
Honestly, you probably don’t need to worry about malware at all. It's quite rare to find such vulnerabilities, especially those that could persist through a reboot or an iOS update.
