How the CVE Works:
CVE-2025-30426 allows malicious apps to bypass enment checks and enumerate a user’s installed applications across Apple’s ecosystem (visionOS, tvOS, iPadOS, iOS, macOS). The vulnerability stems from insufficient sandbox restrictions, enabling unauthorized access to app metadata. Attackers exploit this flaw by crafting a malicious app that queries system APIs without proper validation, leaking sensitive app inventory data. This can facilitate targeted attacks, phishing campaigns, or privacy violations.
