Fifteen additions after half year

According to @Applsec, a total of 15 bug entries were complemented for iOS 18 and iPados 18. These can be seen from the indication that the entry was made on March 3, 2025.

The accessibility framework with which the attackers can “control” nearby equipment (in fact, is not clear).

In addition, there are further entries in which Apple calls only the area that had a bug, but there is no other specific details except the respective tipper (“additional recognition”). It is not clear whether and when information is given. Unfortunately, the group has been chasing this strategy for a long time.

For all, this is an ugly development: users, developers and security experts have to look closely to determine which Apple is stuffed. In some cases, the information is passed only to prevent attacks – since the bugs are in the “wild” versions that have not yet been patched, it is not necessarily an intelligent strategy. About six months without details are unacceptable.
