It is not presented as remotely exploitable, but any unpatched device with sensitive Passbook content could expose data to someone holding the device. Mitigation focus: Upgrade affected iOS devices to 6.0.1 or later per Apple guidance.; Retire or isolate devices that cannot receive the Apple update.; Prioritize devices that store passes, tickets, payment-adjacent data, or employee credentials..
