Sensitive data disclosure via Siri lock-screen access
Published Jul 29, 2024 · Updated Apr 2, 2026
Lock-screen access control failure in Apple iOS, iPadOS, and watchOS allows physically proximate attackers to read sensitive user data through Siri. The Phone component mishandles lock-screen state while Siri handles a request, so protected data is returned while the device remains locked. Exploitation requires physical possession of a locked device with Siri reachable, and the reported consequence is limited to sensitive-data disclosure.
