CVE-2024-44131 is a privacy and file-handling vulnerability in Apple iOS, iPadOS, and macOS caused by insufficient validation of symbolic links during file access. A malicious application may be able to abuse symlink handling to cause access checks or file operations to resolve to unintended targets, resulting in unauthorized access to sensitive user data. Apple states the issue was addressed through improved validation of symlinks and fixed in iOS 18, iPadOS 18, and macOS Sequoia 15.
