iOS 18.7.2/ iPadOS 18.7.2 Privilege Escalation

This vulnerability allows an app to access sensitive user data without proper authorization. This is a critical issue in iOS and iPadOS devices, as it can lead to unauthorized access to personal information.

You're affected if you use iOS 18.7.2 or iPadOS 18.7.2. Check with: security command on macOS (for detection) or use the built-in "Check for updates" feature in Settings > General > Software Update on your device.

Note: This is not a widely used software, so if you don't recognize the name, you're probably not affected.

1. Update to iOS 18.7.3 or later.
2. Set NSAppTransportSecurity to NSAppTransportSecurityModeSecure in your app's Info.plist file (for immediate mitigations).
