MapKit in Apple iOS before 9.3.2, OS X before 10.11.5, and watchOS before 2.2.1 does not use HTTPS for shared links, which allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information by sniffing the network for HTTP traffic.

Security readout for executives and security teams

Apple MapKit shared links used HTTP instead of HTTPS on older iOS, OS X, and watchOS releases. Someone able to observe the user’s network traffic could see sensitive information in those links. The issue was fixed in iOS 9.3.2, OS X 10.11.5, and watchOS 2.2.1. Exposure is most likely on legacy Apple devices still running iOS before 9.3.2, OS X before 10.11.5, or watchOS before 2.2.1. Modern fully updated Apple fleets are unlikely to remain exposed to this specific issue. Treat this as a legacy-device hygiene issue unless old Apple devices remain in use. It can expose sensitive link data on observable networks, but the bundle provides no evidence of active exploitation or broader system compromise. Mitigation focus: Upgrade iOS devices to 9.3.2 or later.; Upgrade OS X systems to 10.11.5 or later.; Upgrade watchOS devices to 2.2.1 or later..
