Attackers can disable USB Restricted Mode, a security feature that limits USB access for locked devices after an hour of inactivity. This allows them to bypass protections against unauthorized data transfers and brute-force passcode attempts.
This vulnerability is especially worrisome for high-risk individuals like journalists, activists, and corporate executives, as their devices often hold sensitive information.
CISA confirmed the vulnerability is actively being exploited, but its connection to ransomware campaigns is not yet verified.
The agency included the flaw in its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog on February 12, 2025, requiring federal agencies to implement mitigations by March 5, 2025. Private-sector organizations and individuals are also urged to take similar action.
Apple has not confirmed if a patch is being developed, but CISA advises users to apply updates as soon as they’re available.
