The service's log-dump command would provide what can only be described as entirely too much information to any app that asked for it. Up first is a doozy: Apple seems to have been including medical and screen time data in calls to the XPC service. In a detailed blog post, Tokarev goes into great detail about zero-day vulnerabilities in three Apple services first reported as early as April of 2021, most of which still go unpatched in the recently-released iOS 15 today. The most credible of these accusations from a researcher named Denis Tokarev, who posted under the screen name illusionofchaos. Like the article, accusations range from ignoring submissions to just flat-out not paying for the work that went into the bugs Apple has fixed.

This is obviously a bad look for Apple, a company that famously claims to have its users' security and privacy at heart and then stabs itself in the back with bad plans like scanning all iCloud photos or trying to automatically diagnose mental health disorders.įollowing the article, other security researchers have come forward with their own series of complaints. The complaints ranged from ignored submissions to unpaid bounties for vulnerabilities that did ultimately get fixed. In a recent Washington Post article, several security researchers shared their own frustrating stories of dealing with Apple's bounty program.
When a researcher feels ignored, however, that can break trust in the program and leave vulnerabilities unpatched and exposed. Of course companies build good will by following through on their promises of payment in these programs.

The fees for confirmed reports of issues range from $25,000 for "limited" unauthorized control of an iCloud account, to a cool million bucks for a zero-click remote chain with full kernel access without requiring user interaction. Like many big tech companies including Microsoft and Google, Apple has a bug bounty program that pays big bucks for newly-discovered security vulnerabilities.
