Apple plans to launch the final version of the iOS 13 operating system next Thursday, and of course with the new operating system, many great expected features will come, but unfortunately the next system will contain something unwanted. It houses a security hole in the lock screen.
Security researcher Jose Rodriguez discovered a method that would bypass the screen lock on the iPhone running iOS 13 and then be able to access all the contacts stored in the device.
According to The Verge, “Jose” reported Apple in mid-July about a bug in the beta version of iOS 13, which allows unlocking the iPhone's screen lock. However, he noticed that this vulnerability is still effective on the GM version of the new operating system.
The seriousness of a loophole in the GM version, which is the acronym for Golden Master, is that this version is the last beta update of the system and is the same as the final version that Apple launches for the average user. Rather, it is the same version that factories download on the devices before packaging and shipping.
Do you know what this means! The iPhone 11 and 11 Pro are now being loaded with iOS 13 GM on them in factories, packaging and shipping to customers. That is, you will receive a device with a vulnerability to lock the screen. But of course, we cannot confirm this information with the presence of the vulnerability on 11 until after the phone is released.
How the vulnerability works
In order to hack and bypass the iPhone's screen lock, the person needs to make a video call via FaceTime and use the Siri voice assistant to activate the VoiceOver screen reader feature, after which the contacts on the iPhone can be accessed and then get e-mail, phone numbers, addresses, and all this without the need to open a screen The device (you can see how the vulnerability was implemented in the video below).
Although the implementation of this attack is a bit difficult, because the hacker needs physical access to the victim's iPhone for a few minutes in order to start a FaceTime call and enable the voiceover feature. Fortunately, this vulnerability does not allow the attacker to access other sensitive files such as photos and videos.
A series of iPhone system vulnerabilities
Finally, this is not the first time that vulnerabilities and threats have been discovered in the iOS operating system, as previous versions of the iPhone system have been exposed to similar vulnerabilities, such as in 2013 with the iOS 6.1 operating system, where hackers exploited a vulnerability in the system that allowed them to access phone records, contact information and even image files, and the same thing was repeated With iOS 7 and then in iOS 8.1, he found a loophole that allows bypassing the lock screen, and Jose Rodriguez discovered a similar bump last year on iOS 12.1, and now he finds the same vulnerability with the latest version of the iPhone operating system.
The security researcher explained that for some reason, Apple did not close it with iOS 13, but the beta versions of iOS 13.1 that are now with the developers have closed the vulnerability with it. It is rumored that Apple will launch update 13.1 in less than two weeks after the release of iOS 13.0, specifically on September 30, according to the rumors.
What do you think about this vulnerability and do you see it dangerous? Will finding a lock screen vulnerability affect your trust in iOS and Apple?

A small update solves the problem
The system is not full of malware or a hacker. Rather, your brain and your thinking are filled with malware. You need an update in your brain so that you can recover from the Android owners' repository.
This is if I am Apple does not have professionalism and deficiencies in protection to the extent that it will launch the update and it has a pre-loophole
Peace, mercy and blessings of God
Why do I not receive notifications of iPhone articles Islam. Why?
A loophole that has no significance and has been defamed for publicity and propaganda only ... a simple update of XNUMX kilobyte size is able to fix it
Is the author of the article a foreigner or an Arab? !!!!
Whoever tries Apple throws any Android phone
The problem is that Apple's idlers deny the loopholes and do not say yes. This is a problem and must be loved by the company. They are the servants of the Apple company. This company will not benefit you. Leave fanaticism and drumming to it and rule
Trouble Android You imitate us with everything, even words.
Woe to you, Android drum, is stranger than here, otherwise curse will come to you
As a normal start, there are gaps, not a loophole .. For me, the worst system is IOS 12, and the best as stability is IOS 10 IOS 11, far from the features
Instead of intimidating people, the solution is simple, deactivate FaceTime and disable Siri. You will be safe until Apple sends IOS 13.1 to fill the gap.
I have Siri and FaceTime turned on and I want to see who wants to hack my phone 🙄
The vulnerability was discovered by a person named Ahmed Al-Deeb and a jailbreak made for it from this vulnerability. Ok, so who revealed this vulnerability Ahmed Al-Dabaa or Ahmed Al-Assad 🙄🤣 Oh Sutter
What they need, they charge themselves all of this, take steps to tell me, and I open a cell phone for them to see even my grandfather's pictures number 7 🌚
Hahaha.
You are considered an Apple vulnerability
Thank you very much, but I think Apple will not leave this loophole
Brother editor, slay it on his kiss if he will join if he comes
Thank you
Haha🤣🤣 Would you consider it a hacker, folks, and it has nothing to do with hacking? Who is this person who wants to hold my device and do these procedures? He said Siri, FaceTime, some methods, and God is something complicated. They will penetrate it and take her number, cover, my love. She sent a message to me and tells me to delete the number from you from your iPhone 🤣🤣
Hamza Al-Abed magnificence, nice comment and comfort
Big things people have purposes for fame or money, and God knows best
Greetings to you, Hamza
I swear by God, my brother, may God bless you. Thank you for your kind response and a kind greeting to you
Your passage is the most beautiful and you are the most beautiful, my brother 🙄
Received a thousand thanks Hamza
God bless you, my brother 🙄
This vulnerability is almost every new release that I am in, and almost all users do not activate Siri in the lock, by default I expect Siri is not activated in the lock
The solution to the flaw is easy and does not need an urgent update
The Android group kicked off 😃😃
Do you have a contract of Android owners, who has a list of Android phones, or do you have an obsessive-compulsive disorder from the owners of Android and a hand?
Hahahahahahahahahahahahah counterattack on Android 😂😂😂😂 Hallucinated
That is, I actually have an obsessive-compulsive disorder from Android
Because the Play Store is full of malicious software
And the system is penetrated from everywhere
😁
(I.e.
Solve your problem with time
With a small update, the problem is solved
This is just a trial version 😂😂😂
Stop attacking Apple, your archenemy
To increase the number of Android Tabla comments
Correct your misspellings first:
... will come ... 😂😂😂
