Researchers described the issue —which they named ZipperDown— as "a common programming error, which leads to severe consequences such as data overwritten and even code execution in the context of affected apps."
15,978 out of 168,951 iOS apps are most likely affected
Pangu Lab said it created an automated scan rule to search for ZipperDown in iOS apps. Researchers found that 15,978 out of the total of 168,951 iOS apps they scanned appeared to be impacted by the ZipperDown vulnerability, although, apps need to be manually inspected to confirm that they are affected.
The list of vulnerable apps also includes several high-profile iOS apps that have more than 100 million users, such as Weibo, MOMO, NetEase Music, QQ Music, and Kwai.
Devs of vulnerable apps have to contact the researchers
In addition, because so many apps are affected, researchers couldn't contact the developers of each app individually to inform them of the issue.
Android also affected
Pangu Lab researchers also said that Android applications are also affected by similar issues and that they will release more details in the future.
