CVE-2023-41061 is an Apple Wallet validation flaw affecting iOS, iPadOS, and watchOS. Apple states that the issue was caused by a validation problem and was fixed with improved logic in iOS 16.6.1, iPadOS 16.6.1, and watchOS 9.6.2. The vulnerability can be triggered by a maliciously crafted attachment, including PassKit content referenced in reporting on the BLASTPASS exploit chain, and successful exploitation may result in arbitrary code execution. Public reporting ties this issue to Wallet/PassKit handling and to a zero-click iMessage delivery chain used together with CVE-2023-41064.
