CVE-2024-44278

Sensitive log data disclosure via incomplete redaction

Published Oct 28, 2024 · Updated Apr 2, 2026

Information disclosure in Siri on iOS, iPadOS, macOS, visionOS, and watchOS allows local users to read sensitive data from system logs. Siri log entries fail to redact private data before sandboxed applications can access the system log stream. Execution of a sandboxed application on a vulnerable device is required, and the disclosed data is limited to log contents.
