VAR-201403-0261
Vulnerability from variot - Updated: 2025-04-13 21:58Photos Backend in Apple iOS before 7.1 does not properly manage the asset-library cache during deletions, which allows physically proximate attackers to obtain sensitive photo data by launching the Photos app and looking under a transparent image. Apple iOS is prone to multiple vulnerabilities. Attackers can exploit these issues to perform man-in-the-middle attack, to access arbitrary files, gain unauthorized access, bypass security restrictions, and perform other attacks. Failed attacks may cause denial-of-service conditions. These issues affect Apple iOS versions prior to 7.1. Note: The issue described by CVE-2013-6835 has been moved to BID 66108 (Apple iOS 'facetime-audio://' Security Bypass Vulnerability) for better documentation. The vulnerability is due to the program deleting images from the library and not deleting the cached version of the image. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to obtain sensitive photo data

Drag nodes to arrange them. Double-click a related vulnerability to open it, or a source to visit its link. The Physics button on the left tunes the layout and the simulation; the legend at the bottom left hides or shows nodes by kind and by sighting type.
Experimental. This forecast is provided for visualization only and may change without notice. Do not use it for operational decisions.
Forecast uses a logistic model when the trend is rising, or an exponential decay model when the trend is falling. Fitted via linearized least squares.

The MITRE ATT&CK techniques below are AI-generated suggestions, inferred from the description of the
vulnerability by the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-classification-roberta-base
model, served locally by ML-Gateway.
They have not been verified by an analyst and are provided for guidance only.
The approach is described in our paper Mapping CVEs to MITRE ATT&CK Techniques: A Curated Gold-Set Classifier and the Limits of LLM-Assisted Label Expansion.
