MITRE ATT&CK
1 technique across 1 tactic: Defense Evasion The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | The user must interact with a malicious app (UI:R from CVSS). No authentication is required (PR:N), and no special configuration or feature enablement is needed. The vulnerability exists in default configurations of all affected OS versions before 26.6. The requirement for user interaction significantly limits realistic exploitation compared to a fully remote unauthenticated attack. |
| Impact | CVSS 6.5 (Medium) indicates moderate severity with network attack vector and no authentication required, but user interaction is needed. The EPSS score is low (0.16%, percentile 6%), suggesting low exploitation likelihood. SSVC analysis shows no exploitation, not automatable, and partial technical impact (confidentiality only). No evidence of active exploitation or public exploit code exists. Overall real-world risk is low; the vulnerability is not a priority for immediate action but should be patched in routine updates. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker creates a malicious app that, when opened by a user on an unpatched device, exploits the authorization bypass to silently access sensitive data such as contacts, photos, or location history. The user must voluntarily open the app, limiting the attack's reach. No public exploit code has been identified at this time. |

Technical ContextAI · show details
The vulnerability is an improper authorization (CWE-285) in Apple's operating system permission management. The affected products include multiple Apple OS families as identified by CPE: iOS and iPadOS, macOS, tvOS, visionOS, and watchOS. The root cause is an authorization issue that was addressed with improved state management, meaning the system failed to correctly enforce access controls when an app requested sensitive data, allowing unauthorized access.
