Just to understand, what is the blast radius of this exploit?
Do they just have access to the whole process memory of the iMessage process?
Or does it go beyond that?
- TheDong 5y agoA project zero post from early 2020 talks about the iMessage architecture and impact of iMessage exploits: https://googleprojectzero.blogspot.com/2020/01/remote-iphone-exploitation-part-1.html https://googleprojectzero.blogspot.com/2020/01/remote-iphone... The BlastDoor sandbox was added since then (which project zero also has a post on), but this exploit happened outside the blastdoor sandbox, so that doesn't change anything. If previous iMessage exploits are anything to go on, it's likely this gives unsandboxed root access to all memory on the device.
