Technical details
The vulnerability is an entitlement bypass issue in iOS and iPadOS where an app can collect information that identifies a specific user or device. The flaw stems from insufficient entitlement checks in a system component that handles user identification or device characteristics. An attacker must develop a malicious app that exploits the missing validation to fingerprint users. The attack is local and does not require user interaction beyond app installation. The fix involved implementing additional entitlement checks to restrict access to identifying information.
