Private information access via undisclosed MediaRemote checks
Published Mar 8, 2024 · Updated Apr 2, 2026
Information disclosure in MediaRemote on Apple iOS, iPadOS, tvOS, and watchOS allows local users to access private information through a malicious app. Apple states only that improved checks address the issue and does not identify the checked operation, untrusted input, or missing validation. Exploitation requires application execution on an affected device, and the published consequence is limited to private-information access.
