CVE-2023-32427Network attack vector

Network traffic interception via cleartext transmission

Published Jul 28, 2023 · Updated Oct 22, 2024

Cleartext transmission in Apple Music for Android before 4.2.0 allows man-in-the-middle attackers to intercept network traffic. The app sends unspecified information without HTTPS; Apple has not disclosed the affected endpoint or transmitted data. Exploitation requires a privileged network position, and published evidence does not establish traffic alteration or account compromise.
