Had a lot of fun reversing Coruna over the last couple weeks and decided it would be worth to write it all up before I forget - so enjoy :) littlelailo.github.io/writeu…

See you in Berlin🎉 Special thanks to @xnyhps and @_xpn_ , some of this work is based on their research. The vulnerabilities disclosed in this presentation can all lead to General TCC Bypasses. I think there are some fundamental issues in the way Apple designed these security mechanisms. If you test them one by one, they may look safe. But when you look at them together, you’ll find that many of them become weak points. Some of these attack surfaces are still exploitable right now, and may stay that way for a while. Honestly, I didn’t want to disclose them before, because there were still bugs to find in these attack surfaces. And even if Apple patches them in the future, I’m still pretty sure I can bypass the protections and get LPE again. But with the macOS bug bounty going down, spending time on local macOS bug hunting is worthless. So I’m shifting more of my focus to remote macOS bug hunting, iOS bug hunting, and Web3. That’s why I’m disclosing them now. @offensive_con #OffensiveCon26

Erst "nur" für staatliche Spionage eingesetzt – jetzt in kriminellen Händen. Eine mächtige iPhone-Spyware zeigt gerade, wie das läuft. Wir warnen seit Jahren beim #Bundestrojaner. Sicherheitslücken haben keine Exklusivität. Sie stehen ALLEN offen. derstandard.at/story/3000000…

Idea for Apple - discount on buying a new iPhone if your old iPhone got hit with Coruna or DARKSWORD. xitter.cf/ryanaraine/status/2035…
Apple confirms mass web attacks. Says to get new iPhones. support.apple.com/en-us/1267…
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The linked Apple support page recommends updating iOS to the latest version to protect against web-based attacks on older software, not purchasing new iPhones. support.apple.com/en-us/126776

Two full iOS exploit kits in one month, deployed via watering holes on public websites, potentially affecting hundreds of millions of devices. Will Apple acknowledge that this no longer fits the "very small number of highly targeted individuals" narrative?

In collaboration with Lookout and Google (thank you 🙏) we have been working on tearing down and building detections for DarkSword - iOS exploit chain for iOS 18.4 - 18.7. Super excited for this research 🎉. Please update your iPhones. iverify.io/blog/darksword-io…

I’ve been briefed on this one from the team that found it. I interviewed them yesterday and will put out a video soon. - it’s an insane story between Darksword and Coruna.
A second iOS exploit has been spotted in use by Russian spies to infect websites and hack visitors' iPhones. This one works on iOS 18, and appeared in a very reusable form, so will likely proliferate. If you haven't updated your iPhone, now's the time. wired.com/story/hundreds-of-…

A powerful iPhone-hacking technique known as DarkSword has been discovered in use by Russian hackers. It can take over devices running iOS 18 that simply visit infected websites. wired.com/story/hundreds-of-…

This tool has already been used in distinct hacking campaigns against Ukrainians, Malaysians, Saudi and Turkish victims. If other hackers needed any more encouragement to adopt it, too, the Russian spies who used it left it fully unobfuscated with helpful code comments legible.
