DescriptionCVE.org

A permissions issue was addressed with additional restrictions. This issue is fixed in iOS 26.5 and iPadOS 26.5. A malicious app may be able to enumerate installed apps.

AnalysisAI

Insufficient permissions restrictions in iOS and iPadOS (all versions prior to 26.5) allow a malicious locally-installed app to enumerate other applications installed on the device. The flaw, rooted in improper privilege management (CWE-269), exposes app inventory data that Apple's sandbox model is designed to protect. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires a malicious application to be installed and executed on the target device - the attack vector is strictly local (AV:L) and requires at least low-privilege app execution (PR:L). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS base score of 3.3 (Low) is well-supported by the vector CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N: the attack is local (malicious app must be installed), requires low privileges (standard app execution), and the impact is limited to partial confidentiality loss with no integrity or availability consequences. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in.
Remediation Vendor-released patch: iOS 26.5 and iPadOS 26.5. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
