iOS Shortcut danger

But anywho, cve.org lists 78 shortcut vulnerabilities across many platforms.
I know you'd like to believe the world we live in shouldn't require permissions for a user to create a shortcut and then access it, but that... Is actually the world we live in, and have been in for a very long time.
Security is hard and it's not getting any easier as system complexity increases.
If you don't believe me, ask your favorite LLM. I asked Gemini and got back what I expected to.
