Base vector

AV:P/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions iOS versions prior to 10

Description The issue involves the Springboard component and allows physically proximate attackers to obtain sensitive information by viewing application snapshots in the "Task Switcher". This is related to a lack of protection for service data, which can be exploited by a local attacker to gain confidential information.

Recommendations For iOS versions prior to 10, as a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the Task Switcher or disabling the Springboard component until a fix is available. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
