39
FAUCET Score

CVE-2016-1823 is an out-of-bounds read and memory corruption vulnerability in the IOHIDDevice::handleReportWithTime function affecting Apple iOS before 9.3.2, OS X before 10.11.5, tvOS before 9.2.1, and watchOS before 2.2.1. This vulnerability, stemming from an incorrect cast of a crafted IOHIDReportType enum, allows attackers to execute arbitrary code in a privileged context or cause a denial of service. With a CVSS score of 7.8 (High), it requires user interaction and local access, but can lead to high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. While not listed in CISA's KEV catalog and lacking Metasploit/Nuclei exploits, a proof-of-concept exploit exists on ExploitDB, though there is minimal community discussion or media coverage.
