A programmer claims to have found a way to execute arbitrary code on recent-ish iPhones and iPads, paving the way for full-blown tethered jailbreaks.
And, we're told, it is impossible for Apple to block these shenanigans as it involves a vulnerability baked into the devices' immutable Boot ROM.
Specifically, the coder, who goes by the handle axi0mX, on Friday said they had built checkm8: "A permanent unpatchable bootrom exploit for hundreds of millions of iOS devices ... Most generations of iPhones and iPads are vulnerable: from iPhone 4S (A5 chip) to iPhone 8 and iPhone X (A11 chip)."
