During the 38th Chaos Communication Congress, security researcher Thomas Roth unveiled a critical security flaw in the ACE3 USB-C controller found in Apple's iPhone 15 series. This controller, integral for charging and data transfer, was scrutinized through reverse engineering techniques by Roth, who exposed its firmware and communication protocols. The researcher discovered that by reprogramming the controller, malicious code could be injected to circumvent security measures. While this attack vector poses a minimal risk to everyday users due to the necessity of a customized cable and physical access to the device, it opens up the possibility of iPhone jailbreaking, facilitating firmware modifications. Apple has yet to issue an official response regarding this matter.
