A few weeks after a report said an Apple Maps bug was sharing users' location with apps without consent, Apple has denied this claim.
, Apple said this privacy vulnerability “could only be exploited from unsandboxed apps on macOS,” which means this vulnerability hasn’t allowed apps on iPhone to “circumvent user controls.”
Apple also added that the report saying this Apple Maps bug was sharing users’ location was incorrect, as its own investigation “concluded that the app was not circumventing users’ control through any mechanism.” Here’s the full statement: At Apple, we firmly believe users should choose when to share their data and with whom. Last week we issued an advisory for a privacy vulnerability that could only be exploited from unsandboxed apps on macOS. The codebase that we fixed is shared by iOS and iPadOS, tvOS, and watchOS, so the fix and advisory was propagated to those operating systems as well, despite the fact that they were never at risk.
A report also incorrectly suggested an iOS app was exploiting this or another vulnerability to bypass user control over location data. Our follow up investigation concluded that the app was not circumventing user controls through any mechanism.
