Sensitive User Data Access in Apple OSes

IdentifiersCVE-2025-43345CWE-754

CVE-2025-43345 is an Apple vulnerability described as a correctness issue that may allow a malicious app to access sensitive user data. Apple states the issue was addressed with improved checks. The vulnerability affects Apple platforms prior to the fixes shipped in tvOS 26, watchOS 26, macOS Sonoma 14.8, macOS Sequoia 15.7, visionOS 26, iOS 26, iPadOS 26, iOS 18.7, and iPadOS 18.7. Based on the available advisory text, the flaw is a logic/correctness weakness rather than a memory-safety issue, but Apple does not disclose the specific vulnerable component or function.

ANALYST BRIEF

Impact, mitigation & remediation

What it means. What to do now. Patch path, mitigations, and the assume-compromise checklist.

Impact

What an attacker gets, and what they’ve been doing with it.

Successful exploitation may allow an app to access sensitive user data that should not have been available to it. The available information does not specify the exact data classes exposed, but the impact is a confidentiality breach within the affected Apple platform.

Mitigation

If you can’t patch tonight, do this now.

If patching cannot be performed immediately, reduce exposure by limiting installation and execution of untrusted or unnecessary applications, enforcing application allowlisting/MDM controls where available, and restricting access to sensitive data through least-privilege configuration. No vendor-specific workaround beyond updating is provided in the supplied content.

Remediation

Patch, then assume compromise.

Apply the vendor-provided updates that fix the issue: tvOS 26, watchOS 26, macOS Sonoma 14.8, macOS Sequoia 15.7, visionOS 26, iOS 26, iPadOS 26, iOS 18.7, or iPadOS 18.7, as applicable. Apple indicates the issue was remediated through improved checks.
