WebKit is not open source?

Sure there are closed source parts of Safari, but I'd guess at least 90% of safari attack surface is in WebKit and it's parts.

In many cases, the difference between a bug and an attack vector lies in the closed source areas.

This is going to be the case automating attack detection against most programs where a portion is obscured.
