A privacy bug in Apple’s iPhone Mirroring (requires macOS Sequoia, iOS 18, Apple Silicon) can allow a Mac with Full Disk Access to enumerate a user’s installed iOS apps via `mdfind`, exposing sensitive app usage (e.g., dating, VPN, health apps). The issue reveals app names and metadata (not app contents), presents legal/privacy risks for employers and employees, and has been reported to Apple and affected vendors while a fix is being developed.
