CVE-2025-43502 is an Apple privacy flaw in which an application may be able to bypass certain Privacy preferences. Apple states the issue was addressed by removing sensitive data. The vulnerability affects Safari 26.1, iOS 26.1, iPadOS 26.1, macOS Tahoe 26.1, and visionOS 26.1 as the fixed versions; the advisory context also references affected macOS Sonoma and macOS Sequoia systems prior to the fix. Based on the available vendor wording, the underlying issue appears to stem from exposure or retention of sensitive data that allowed an app to circumvent privacy controls or infer/access information that should have been gated by user privacy preferences. Apple has not publicly disclosed more specific technical details such as the exact component or function involved.
