I found a security loophole on iphone 11

Olusegun — Mon, 09 Oct 2023 10:25:13 GMT

Hi all,
I think i might have found a security loophole on the apple Iphone 11 device that not only gave me access to the icloud but also made me get rid of it turning it into a new device.

I really would like to have this taken care of but i don't want to reach out to Apple without understanding what i fully need to know about exploiting this.

The device in question is an iphone 11 with iOS 15

It's good practices to responsibly submit what you find to Apple.

As Eric said, report it to the vendor using their official channel. Spending too much time investigating it yourself (more than necessary to demonstrate the problem and explain how to reproduce it) both delays a mitigation being published and puts you at risk of BadThings™ if your actions are discovered and they suspect you are trying to exploit for personal gain.

Bloody hell, I pushed POST without typing anything in -- and I didn't intend to create a post, either. Can an admin please delete my reply right here?
