Contact information disclosure via insufficient Game Center restrictions
Published Aug 24, 2021 · Updated Aug 3, 2024
Information disclosure in Game Center on iOS, iPadOS, and macOS allows local users to read contacts through a malicious application. Game Center applies insufficient restrictions when the application requests contact information; Apple has not disclosed the affected API or faulty logic. Execution of attacker-controlled code as a local application is required, and the documented consequence is limited to contact-information disclosure.
