A new vulnerability has been disclosed in iOS Camera App that could be exploited to redirect users to a malicious website without their knowledge. The vulnerability resides in the built-in QR code reader for iOS 11 mobile operating system for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch devices. With iOS 11, Apple introduced a new feature that gives users ability to automatically read QR codes using their iPhone’s native camera app without requiring any third-party QR reader app. The issue becomes particularly more dangerous when users rely on QR codes for making quick payments or opening banking websites.
