Local sensitive user information disclosure
Published Sep 23, 2022 · Updated May 27, 2025
Information disclosure in iCloud Photo Library on macOS and tvOS allows context-dependent attackers to access sensitive user data through an app. Apple identifies the locus and says it removed vulnerable code, but has not disclosed which operation improperly exposed the information. Exploitation requires an app to execute locally and user interaction; the reported consequence is limited to sensitive user-information access.
