CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N

Attack Vector: Network
Attack Complexity: Low
Privileges Required: None
User Interaction: Required
Scope: Unchanged
Confidentiality: None
Integrity: Low
Availability: None

Bold values are the worst case: easiest to exploit or largest impact.

Attack Vector: Network: The vulnerable component is bound to the network stack and the set of possible attackers extends beyond the other options listed, up to and including the entire Internet. Such a vulnerability is often termed 'remotely exploitable' and can be thought of as an attack being exploitable at the protocol level one or more network hops away (e.g., across one or more routers).
Attack Complexity: Low: Specialized access conditions or extenuating circumstances do not exist. An attacker can expect repeatable success against the vulnerable component.
Privileges Required: None: The attacker is unauthorized prior to attack, and therefore does not require any access to settings or files to carry out an attack.
User Interaction: Required: Successful exploitation of this vulnerability requires a user to take some action before the vulnerability can be exploited.
Scope: Unchanged: An exploited vulnerability can only affect resources managed by the same security authority. In this case, the vulnerable component and the impacted component are either the same, or both are managed by the same security authority.
Confidentiality: None: There is no loss of confidentiality within the impacted component.
Integrity: Low: Modification of data is possible, but the attacker does not have control over the consequence of a modification, or the amount of modification is limited. The data modification does not have a direct, serious impact on the impacted component.
Availability: None: There is no impact to availability within the impacted component.

Exploitation evidence

Disclosed: evidence found.
CVE published 10 Jun 2024
Detectable: no evidence on record.
No public nuclei template indexed
Weaponised: no evidence on record.
No public exploit code indexed in Metasploit or Exploit-DB
Exploited in the wildExploited: no evidence on record.
Not in CISA KEV and no source reports exploitation
Observed by OffSeq MirageSeen by Mirage: no evidence on record.
No attack traffic recorded by OffSeq Mirage sensors

A missing step is not evidence of safety. Sources: cve.org (opens in a new tab), the Metasploit, Exploit-DB and nuclei-templates index as of 26 Oct 2026.

Disclosed: The CVE record is public on cve.org. Its publication is t = 0.
Detectable: A public nuclei template can find exposed instances, for defenders and attackers alike.
Weaponised: Public exploit code exists in Metasploit or Exploit-DB, or CISA SSVC or the CVSS exploit maturity reports a public proof of concept.
Exploited in the wild: CISA KEV lists it, CISA SSVC rates exploitation active, or a source reports attacks.
Observed by OffSeq Mirage: OffSeq Mirage honeypot sensors recorded attack traffic for this CVE, or found exposed hosts without attack traffic.

Moments are spaced evenly, not to scale; a dashed line marks a gap of six months or more. Deltas count from t = 0. Sources that give only a date (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, or a time of exactly 00:00Z) read “same day” rather than hours. Metasploit modules carry the flaw’s disclosure date, not their release date, and nuclei templates carry no date, so both appear above but not on the timeline.

AI-suggested

Apple has provided official fixes for this vulnerability in iOS 16.7.8, iPadOS 16.7.8, iOS 17.5, and iPadOS 17.5. Users and administrators should apply these updates promptly to remediate the issue. No additional mitigation steps are required beyond applying the official patches.

Description

CVE-2024-27807 is a medium severity vulnerability in Apple iOS and iPadOS where an app may be able to circumvent App Privacy Report logging. This issue was addressed by Apple through improved checks in iOS 16.7.8, iPadOS 16.7.8, iOS 17.5, and iPadOS 17.5. The vulnerability allows an app to avoid being logged by the App Privacy Report feature, potentially reducing visibility into app behavior related to privacy. The CVSS score is 4.

Impact

An app exploiting this vulnerability may avoid being recorded in the App Privacy Report, which could reduce the effectiveness of privacy monitoring by users or administrators. There is no direct impact on confidentiality or availability, but the integrity of privacy reporting is affected. No known exploits in the wild have been reported.

Summary

This vulnerability involves a flaw in the App Privacy Report feature of Apple iOS and iPadOS that could allow an app to bypass logging mechanisms designed to track app activity related to privacy. The issue was resolved by Apple with improved validation checks in iOS 16.7.8, iPadOS 16.7.8, iOS 17.5, and iPadOS 17.5. The CVSS vector indicates the vulnerability is remotely exploitable with low complexity, requires user interaction, and impacts integrity without affecting confidentiality or availability.
