Password Autofill Security Flaw in Apple Operating Systems

CVE-2024-54530

Summary

A security flaw exists in macOS, watchOS, visionOS, iOS, and iPadOS systems that may allow password autofill to populate credentials even after an authentication failure. This vulnerability could lead to unauthorized access, as user credentials may be exposed in scenarios where authentication should be enforced. Apple has addressed this issue with enhanced verification processes in the latest versions of affected operating systems, ensuring that password autofill functions only when authentication is successfully completed.
