CVE-2025-24220

Device identifier disclosure via insufficient sandbox permissions

Published May 12, 2025 · Updated Apr 2, 2026

Information disclosure in Apple iOS and iPadOS allows local users to read a persistent device identifier through an app. The Sandbox Profiles component applies insufficient permission restrictions to app access to that identifier. An app must execute on an affected device, and the disclosed consequence is persistent device identification without file, account, or service access.
