IOS Bug Lets Apps Record Siri Conversations


Without even asking for permissions, the newly discovered SiriSpy flaw in Apples iOS Bluetooth access could allow someone to access user interactions with Siri and keyboard-dictation audio.



For anyone who thought their conversations with Siri
were sacred
and keyboard dictation recordings were secure, a new analysis found a flaw in the iOS Bluetooth that could allow someone to grab audio from both. 
The find is from researcher Guilherme Rambo, who published details of an 
Apple iOS flaw
he calls SiriSpy, tracked under CVE-2022-32946. It would let a malicious app that a user has been convinced to install eavesdrop on audio interactions with iPhones.
Any app with access to Bluetooth could record your conversations with Siri and audio from the iOS keyboard dictation feature when using AirPods or Beats headsets, Rambo wrote. This would happen without the app requesting microphone access permission, and without the app leaving any trace that it was listening to the microphone. 
Rambo explained he regularly does cybersecurity research on AirPods, leading him to the find. 
After alerting Apple to the vulnerability in late August, Rambo said on Oct. 24 that iOS 16.1, along with all of the other remaining
Apple operating systems
, were updated with a fix. Making the find even sweeter, Rambo added hes been told by Apple he will receive a $7,000 bug bounty for his efforts.
