CVE-2017-2352: An issue was discovered in certain Apple products.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This flaw affected Apple Watch unlocking through an iPhone. Under unspecified conditions, an attacker could bypass the watch’s wrist-presence protection and unlock the Watch. The source bundle does not describe remote exploitation, data scope, or exploit details. Exposure is most likely limited to legacy Apple Watch and paired iPhone deployments that were never updated beyond watchOS 3.1.3 and iOS 10.2.1. Current managed fleets are unlikely to remain exposed, but old BYOD or stored devices may exist. Treat this as a legacy hygiene issue unless your organization still permits outdated Apple Watch and iPhone pairs. The business risk is narrower than internet-facing vulnerabilities, but it can affect device unlock assurance and should be closed through update compliance. Mitigation focus: Update affected iPhones to iOS 10.2.1 or later.; Update affected Watches to watchOS 3.1.3 or later.; Check Apple advisories for current device-specific guidance..
