CVE-2024-44170

Sensitive data disclosure via insecure Siri storage

Published Sep 16, 2024 · Updated Apr 2, 2026

Information disclosure in Siri before iOS/iPadOS 18, macOS 15, and watchOS 11 allows local users to access sensitive data through an app. Siri stored sensitive data in a location accessible to apps instead of a more secure location; Apple has not disclosed the file, API, or data types involved. Exploitation requires local low-privileged app execution and exposes data available to Siri, with no reported write access or service interruption.
