CVE-2025-31199

Sensitive-data disclosure via insufficient log redaction

Published May 29, 2025 · Updated Apr 2, 2026

Logging exposure in Apple iOS/iPadOS before 18.4, macOS before 14.8.2 or 15.4, and visionOS before 2.4 allows local users to read sensitive data. The Logging component, identified as Spotlight in Sonoma, records user data without adequate redaction and makes it accessible to an app; Apple has not disclosed the affected fields or access path. Exploitation requires an app to run locally and user interaction; the documented consequence is disclosure only, with no integrity or availability impact.
