CVE-2025-24221Network attack vector

Keychain data disclosure via inadequate backup restrictions

Published Mar 31, 2025 · Updated Jun 23, 2026

Incorrect authorization in Apple iOS and iPadOS before 18.4, iPadOS before 17.7.6, and visionOS before 2.4 exposes keychain data. The Accounts component fails to restrict sensitive keychain entries in an iOS backup, but Apple has not disclosed the flawed operation. Exposure requires access to a backup; published material does not identify the request path or any additional attacker gate.
