CVE-2013-5147

23
FAUCET Score

CVE-2013-5147 describes a passcode lock bypass vulnerability in Apple iOS before version 7, affecting iPhone devices. This flaw allows a physically proximate attacker to bypass the passcode requirement by exploiting a race condition involving phone calls and SIM card ejection. With a CVSS score of 3.7 (low severity), the attack requires local access and high attack complexity, potentially leading to partial confidentiality, integrity, and availability compromise. While not listed on CISA's KEV catalog, an ExploitDB entry (EDB-28978) exists, demonstrating a SIM lock screen bypass, though there is no evidence of active exploitation or significant community discussion.
