This report documents CVE-2020-9773: a privacy-impacting iOS vulnerability in the LSD icon cache that allowed any sandboxed app to read cached icons from a globally readable folder (/private/var/containers/Shared/SystemGroup/systemgroup.com.apple.lsd.iconscache/Library/Caches/com.apple.IconsCache/) and thus enumerate installed applications. The document includes timeline, technical format details, a proof-of-concept that extracts icons and lists apps, and notes that Apple fixed the issue in iOS/iPadOS 14.0.
