One of the iMessage vulnerabilities allows a hacker to send a specially crafted text message to a target tricking the iMessage server into coughing up the content of user text messages both text and images. The complexity of iMessage, and its cross dependency on numerous other services, apps, and libraries, increases the risk that these attacks will be able to bypass the broader iOS defenses, Silvanovich says.
Such flaws are highly sought after by state actors and others given the target remains utterly oblivious to the fact that any attack has even occurred. While six of the vulnerabilities have already been patched, several of them have not, the researchers said.
The researchers say they were motivated to hunt for more zero click vulnerabilities after a Whatsapp vulnerability recently highlighted how iPhone users could have spyware installed on their phones—and calls listened in on—without any indication whatsoever the end user had been compromised. Other bugs allowed for the covert siphoning of private user data from a target device.
Silvanovich has made it clear that iOS security generally remains high. This will turn off the tunes, be it through Apple Music or Spotify, when the timer hits zero.
