Unauthorized FaceTime call initiation
Published Jun 10, 2024 · Updated Apr 2, 2026
Authorization bypass in Mail on affected Apple operating systems allows attackers to initiate FaceTime calls through a crafted email. Apple states only that improved checks corrected Mail's message handling and has not disclosed the specific validation failure or code locus. Exploitation requires user interaction with the crafted email; the documented consequence is an unauthorized FaceTime call, with no broader impact reported.
