Sensitive link-sharing log disclosure via insufficient checks
Published Sep 26, 2023 · Updated Nov 4, 2025
Information disclosure in Share Sheet on iOS, iPadOS, macOS, and watchOS allows attackers to read sensitive link-sharing logs. The component applies insufficient logic checks before permitting access to log data, but Apple has not disclosed the precise code path or validation failure. Exploitation requires an installed app and a user sharing a link; the reported consequence is disclosure of the resulting sensitive log data only.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
- Affected versionversion=unspecified <16.7
