CVE-2025-31182 is an improper symlink handling vulnerability in Apple libxpc that affects iOS, iPadOS, macOS, tvOS, visionOS, and watchOS prior to the vendor fixes. The flaw allows an application to delete files for which it does not have permission. Apple states the issue was addressed through improved handling of symlinks, indicating a link-following or path resolution weakness during file deletion operations. Successful exploitation results in unauthorized deletion of files outside the app’s intended permission boundaries.
