CVE-2025-43413

Sandboxed disclosure of system-wide network connections

Published Nov 4, 2025 · Updated Nov 4, 2025

Improper access control in libxpc across iOS, iPadOS, macOS, tvOS, visionOS, and watchOS allows sandboxed apps to observe system-wide connections. Apple states that additional sandbox restrictions corrected the access issue but has not disclosed which libxpc interface exposed the connection data or the incorrect authorization operation. Exploitation requires code execution inside an application sandbox; the reported consequence is visibility into other processes' network connections, with no reported traffic-content access or data modification.
