An app developer and security researcher discovered an iOS vulnerability that could have allowed threat actors to remotely sabotage and brick the best iPhones using only a single line of code.A Darwin notification is a low-level interprocess communication mechanism within iOS and doesn’t require any special privileges to send or receive. It also doesn’t verify the sender, and is available as a public API. Rambo first disclosed the issue to Apple in June of last year, and demonstrated his proof of concept named “EvilNotify” by running an app that could cause an iOS device to display specific icons in a status bar. Apple has acknowledged and awarded Rambo a bug bounty of $17,500. They’ve also issued a fix for the bug in security updates, do you think that technology is becoming too risky?
