If you care about jailbreaking, DO NOT update to iOS 27.2. Stay on 27.0.1 or lower. Apple patched a bunch of bugs in 27.2 that can (theoretically) be used to achieve an untethered jailbreak. nitter.cf/calif_io/status/211357… nitter.cf/calif_io/status/211108…
Demos we presented at Hexacon in Paris today. Everything will be released in due time. 1/ Signal 1-click

After checking the just-released ipsw – the potential SPTM bypass bug (and my airlift sbx) appear to be unpatched on the Duo/iOS 27.1. If you got a Duo and care about jailbreaking, stay on 27.1 if you can. All other devices should stay on 27.0.1.

mine can, but let’s be honest yours is cooler 😎, I never imagined MIE devices to get jailbroken with persistence twice in the span of what, one month?

hrtowii.dev/blog/making-a-no… i whipped up a quick writeup here regarding this bug ^^ github repo: github.com/hrtowii/lycorine-…

3/3 Root access =/= stable jb. Devices w/ the patchworked environment installed can still use what's there, but Apple's server now blocks further modifications. The bug itself is unfortunately useless now. Some1 will surely publish a technical writeup/PoC for those interested.

This bug was so special that I had to come back after years and get myself somewhat up to speed with latest iOS.

Mr. Jake James it makes me beyond thrilled to hear you're still up to shenanigans in 2026

As others noted, Apple patched the not-so-secret server side bug. It enabled root access and jailbreaking even on iOS 27.2b3 (18 Pro Max). A public release would've meant an instant patch, so it stayed private. Despite efforts to preserve it, it's cooked. RIP 🪦😭

To celebrate iOS 27’s release, why not release a sandbox escape? Announcing airlift: a PoC abusing a media sync path for out-of-scope access across much of /var/mobile via macOS↔iOS pairing. No MobileGestalt edits yet; looking into it. github.com/0xjohnnydev/airli…
