Restricted-content disclosure via lock-screen state error
Published Nov 1, 2022 · Updated May 6, 2025
Information disclosure in FaceTime in Apple macOS before 13 allows physically proximate attackers to view restricted lock-screen content. The FaceTime lock-screen interface mishandles state and fails to preserve content restrictions, but Apple has not disclosed the affected transition. Physical access to a locked Mac is required, and the documented consequence is limited to viewing content rather than changing data or service state.
