CVE-2025-43200 is a logic flaw in Apple Messages involving the processing of maliciously crafted photos or videos shared through an iCloud Link. Remote attackers can exploit the flaw through iMessage without requiring the recipient to open or view the media, potentially achieving remote code execution and device compromise. The vulnerability affects iOS, iPadOS, macOS, watchOS, and visionOS. It was exploited in targeted attacks against European journalists to deploy Paragon's Graphite spyware, including attacks on iPhones running iOS 18.2.1. Apple addressed the flaw with improved checks.
