Published Jun 9, 2020 · Updated Aug 4, 2024
Authorization bypass in Apple iOS before 13.5 allows physically proximate attackers to view notification contents on the lock screen. The Notifications component mishandles authorization state for lock-screen notification display; Apple has not disclosed the faulty transition or check. Physical access to a locked device is required, and the reported consequence is limited to reading displayed notification contents.
