Unauthorized App Modification in Apple App Management
CVE-2024-54560 is a logic issue in Apple platforms that could allow a malicious application to modify other applications without possessing the required App Management permission. Apple states the issue was addressed with improved checks and fixed in iOS 18, iPadOS 18, watchOS 11, tvOS 18, and macOS Sequoia 15. Based on the advisory text, the flaw is in permission or policy enforcement around app-management operations rather than a memory-safety bug, allowing an app to perform actions against other apps that should have been restricted to callers with explicit App Management authorization.
