CVE-2021-31001Network attack vector

Sensitive-information disclosure to network-positioned attackers

Published Aug 24, 2021 · Updated Aug 3, 2024

Information disclosure in Apple iOS and iPadOS Telephony before 15 allows attackers to leak user data from a privileged network position. The Telephony component applies inadequate access restrictions, but Apple has not disclosed the affected interface, request, or data path. Exploitation requires control of a privileged network position; the documented consequence is sensitive-information disclosure, with no reported integrity or availability impact.
