Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions iOS versions prior to 10.3

Description The issue involves the iTunes Store component and allows man-in-the-middle attackers to modify the client-server data stream to iTunes sandbox web services by leveraging use of cleartext HTTP. This can potentially compromise the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of protected information.

Recommendations For iOS versions prior to 10.3, update to a version 10.3 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the iTunes Store component to minimize the risk of exploitation. Avoid using cleartext HTTP for sensitive transactions until the issue is resolved.
