CVE-2024-44276Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Sensitive information disclosure via cleartext Passwords requests

Published Mar 17, 2025 · Updated Apr 2, 2026

Cleartext transmission in Passwords in Apple iOS and iPadOS before 18.2 allows man-in-the-middle attackers to leak sensitive information. The app sent password-reset links and site-icon requests over HTTP before following HTTPS redirects, exposing the initial request to interception and redirection. An attacker controlling the device's network path can redirect the request to a phishing page; credential disclosure still requires user interaction.
