How CVE-2025-24283 Works
CVE-2025-24283 is a logging vulnerability in Apple’s visionOS, iOS, iPadOS, and macOS where improper data redaction allows apps to access sensitive user logs. Unprivileged applications can exploit insufficient log sanitization to read cached credentials, authentication tokens, or personal data stored in system logs. The flaw stems from missing redaction in diagnostic logs, enabling attackers to extract information via malicious apps or log inspection tools.
DailyCVE Form:
Platform: Apple OS Suite
Version: visionOS <2.4, iOS <18.4, iPadOS <18.4, macOS <15.4
Vulnerability: Sensitive Data Exposure
Severity: Critical
Date: 04/07/2025
What Undercode Say:
Exploitation:
1. Log Extraction:
grep -r "authToken" /var/log/system.log
2. Malicious App Code (Swift):
let logData = try String(contentsOfFile: "/var/log/diagnostic.log", encoding: .utf8)
Protection:
1. Patch Immediately:
softwareupdate --install --all
2. Log Sanitization:
sudo sed -i 's/sensitive_data/[REDACTED]/g' /var/log/.log
3. Network Mitigation:
sudo firewall-cmd --add-rich-rule='rule family="ipv4" source address="attacker_ip" reject'
Detection:
1. Audit Logs:
sudo auditctl -w /var/log -p rwxa -k sensitive_log_access
2. YARA Rule:
rule apple_log_exposure {
strings: $s = "password=" nocase
condition: $s
}
