CVE-2025-24141

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions iOS versions prior to 18.3 iPadOS versions prior to 18.3

Description An authentication issue was addressed with improved state management. An attacker with physical access to an unlocked device may be able to access Photos while the app is locked. The issue is related to the Accessibility component and its authorization mechanism, which may allow an attacker to gain unauthorized access to protected information.

Recommendations For iOS versions prior to 18.3, update to iOS 18.3 to resolve the issue. For iPadOS versions prior to 18.3, update to iPadOS 18.3 to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting physical access to devices to minimize the risk of exploitation.
