Apple iOS and iPadOS FaceTime Microphone Muting Issue

A vulnerability exists in FaceTime on Apple iOS 18.5 and iPadOS 18.5, affecting iPhone XS and later models, as well as various iPad Pro, iPad Air, iPad, and iPad mini models. The issue arises because muting the microphone during a FaceTime call may not effectively silence the audio, potentially allowing sound to be transmitted despite the mute status.

Impact

Failing to properly mute the microphone during a FaceTime call could result in unintended audio transmission, allowing others on the call to hear sounds that should have been silenced.
