Google’s Project Zero is a team that aims to find exploits and vulnerabilities in other companies’ software. Previously, we saw the team discover an exploit in iOS 11.1.2. Even though the said vulnerability was patched by Apple in iOS 11.2, there are still a lot of users who have not updated their iPhone and iPads to the latest firmware. The iOS 11 exploit caught the eye of the developer community and it opened various possibilities for the first iOS 11 jailbreak. Google has now shared the vulnerability tot he public. So let’s dive in to see some more details on the matter.
It may sound odd why Google is researching iOS vulnerabilities. However, this is the whole reason Project Zero was designed for. Ian Beer, Project Zero’s renowned iOS bug hunter found the exploit. He was also responsible for finding 5 of the 15 security issues that Apple fixed in iOS 11.2 update. However, what’s rather interesting is the fact that Beer said that he will give a heads up if users should keep their devices on iOS 11.1.2 soon.
