Apple said it has fixed an undisclosed vulnerability in its HomeKit framework that could have allowed unauthorized remote control of HomeKit devices such as smart locks and connected garage door openers.

The flaw was first reported by the publication 9to5Mac on Thursday. According to the publication, the vulnerability requires an iPhone or iPad running the latest iOS 11.2 that is linked to the HomeKit user’s iCloud account.

 
The write-up on the vulnerability is vague and does not state what the specific vulnerability is, only that it was demonstrated to the publication and that it is complex to exploit.

HomeKit is Apple’s software framework for smart-home appliances that lets iPhone and iPads users communicate with and control dozens of compatible third-party HomeKit-enabled devices.
