A mitigation bypass / privilege escalation flaw has been discovered in Apple's iOS Screen Time functionality, granting one access to modify the restrictions. It allows a local attacker to acquire the Screen Time Passcode by bypassing the anti-bruteforce protections on the four-digit Passcode, and in consequence gaining total control over Screen Time (Parental Control) settings. Version 17.2.1 is affected.
