An Israeli startup has discovered a vulnerability in many iOS apps that could be used to send malicious links or fake news to a news app. The vulnerability would start with a man-in-the-middle attack over a public Wi-Fi network. An attacker would first have to gain access to the traffic between the app and the server that receives its requests and sends back data. The attacker can send the data he chooses until the app is updated or it is removed and reinstalled. The company has posted on its blog a couple of lines of code that can be inserted in a mobile app to close the hole.”]
