An open-source repo got taken down. It allowed users on iOS 27 to run a terminal, without jailbreak or exploit, by bypassing the sandbon isolation.
It allowed you to access the directories of other apps, meaning you could do anything

Things that feel cringe (until they start working):
- Posting on LinkedIn (until a stranger DMs you with a life changing opportunity)
- Cold DMs (until one turns into your biggest client)
- Filming yourself in public (until the video gets a million views)
- Hosting your first event (until 100 people show up)
- Speaking on stage (until someone tells you your talk changed their mind)
- Starting a newsletter (until it pays your rent)
- Introducing yourself to strangers (until one becomes your cofounder)
- Asking for referrals (until half your business comes from them)
- Pitching your friends on your startup (until one of them invests)
- Asking for a raise (until you get it)
Cringe is the entry price (most people never pay it)

Before that, to get access to data across sandboxes, attackers had to spend millions of dollars for an exploit to jailbreak these.
Now, you don't need that. You can have access to all the data you want:
- SQLite databases
- Login tokens
- Seed tokens
- Anything else
