CVE-2025-43200 is an actively exploited logic flaw in Apple’s Messages-related handling of photo or video content shared through an iCloud Link. The issue occurs during processing of maliciously crafted media and was fixed by Apple with improved checks across supported Apple platforms, including iOS, iPadOS, macOS, watchOS, and visionOS. Available reporting indicates the flaw was reachable in a zero-click attack chain delivered through iMessage, allowing specially crafted content to be processed without requiring the target to open the message or interact with the media. The vulnerability was reportedly used in highly targeted attacks to deploy Paragon’s Graphite spyware against specific individuals.
