According to <a href="https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2025-43300" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Apple&rsquo;s official advisory</a>, this out-of-bounds write issue was discovered in their implementation of JPEG Lossless Decompression code within the RawCamera.bundle, which processes Adobe&rsquo;s DNG (Digital Negative) files.</p> <p>What elevates this from a typical vulnerability to a critical threat is Apple&rsquo;s chilling acknowledgment: <strong>&ldquo;Apple is aware of a report that this issue may have been exploited in an extremely sophisticated attack against specific targeted individuals.&rdquo;</strong> This isn&rsquo;t theoretical - it&rsquo;s been weaponized.</p>
