This is a strategic public disclosure of a zero-click iMessage exploit chain that was discovered live on iOS 18.2 and
remained unpatched through iOS 18.4. It enabled Secure Enclave key theft, wormable remote code execution, and
undetectable crypto wallet exfiltration. Despite responsible disclosure, the research was suppressed by the vendor.
Apple issued a silent fix in iOS 18.4.1 (April 2025) without public acknowledgment or credit.
