Contact disclosure via faulty Siri search logic
Published Sep 8, 2021 · Updated Aug 3, 2024
Information disclosure in Siri in Apple iOS and iPadOS before 14.5 allows physically proximate attackers to access stored contacts. Apple identifies faulty logic in Siri search access to information but has not disclosed the specific code path, request, or validation failure. Exploitation requires physical possession of an affected device and is limited to reading contact data; no modification or service interruption is reported.
