CVE-2022-22598

Camera-view metadata disclosure before permission grant

Published Mar 18, 2022 · Updated Aug 3, 2024

Information disclosure in CoreMedia in Apple iOS and iPadOS before 15.4 allows local users to learn current-camera-view metadata. CoreMedia exposes camera metadata to an installed app before the operating system grants that app camera access; Apple has not disclosed the faulty code path beyond identifying incorrect logic. Execution of an app on an affected device is required, and the documented consequence is limited to learning information about the current camera view.
