Privacy preference bypass via missing entitlement checks
Published Mar 31, 2025 · Updated Apr 2, 2026
Authorization bypass in RepairKit in Apple iOS and iPadOS before 18.4 and visionOS before 2.4 allows attackers to bypass Privacy preferences. RepairKit fails to require the necessary application entitlement before granting access governed by those preferences; Apple has not disclosed the affected API or data class. Exploitation requires an attacker-controlled app to execute on the device, and the disclosed consequence is limited to access denied through Privacy settings.
