Sensitive data disclosure via incomplete Shortcuts redaction
Published Oct 28, 2024 · Updated Apr 2, 2026
Information disclosure in Shortcuts on affected Apple platforms allows local users to access sensitive user data through an app. The Shortcuts component fails to fully redact sensitive information before making shortcut data available to an application. Exploitation requires local low-privilege app execution; Apple has not disclosed the affected data types or a more specific code path, so the consequence is bounded to data disclosure.
