iOS Flaw Allows Developers Access to User Photos

A vulnerability in Apple’s iOS operating systems may be allowing some apps to access consumers’ photos and videos and associated location data. First reported by 9to5Mac, the loophole was recently examined by the New York Times, which confirmed that by allowing an iOS app access to location information, that app can then copy a user’s entire photo library — without any further notification or warning. Apple is reportedly at work on a fix.
