Subject: Re: Apple iOS v9.2.1 - Multiple PassCode Bypass Vulnerabilities (App Store Link, Buy Tones Link & Weather Channel Link)
Yes Tested it to on several devices jailbreaked and official firmware from 9.0.1 until 9.3 beta and this bypass doesn't work .
I think the user is unlocking with Touch ID as Edsel stated before .

>> Apple`s App Store contained more than 700,000 iOS applications, which have collectively been downloaded more than 30 billion times.
>> It had a 14.9% share of the smartphone mobile operating system units shipped in the third quarter of 2012, behind only Google`s Android.

>> In June 2012, it accounted for 65% of mobile web data consumption (including use on both the iPod Touch and the iPad). At the half of
>> 2012, there were 410 million devices activated. According to the special media event held by Apple on September 12, 2012, 400 million

>>
>> Technical Details & Description:
>> ================================
>> An auth passcode bypass vulnerability has been discovered in the iOS v9.0, v9.1, v9.2.1 for Apple iPhone (5,5s,6 & 6s) and the iPad (mini,1 & 2).
>> The vulnerability typ allows an local attacker with physical device access to bypass the passcode protection mechanism of the Apple mobile iOS devices.
>>
>> The vulnerabilities are located in the 'Appstore', 'Buy more Tones' or 'Weather Channel' links of the Clock, Event Calender & Siri User Interface.
>> Local attackers can use siri, the event calender or the available clock module for an internal browser link request to the appstore that is able to
>> bypass the customers passcode or fingerprint protection mechanism. The attacker can exploit the issue on several ways with siri, the events calender
>> or the clock app of the control panel on default settings to gain unauthorized access to the affected Apple mobile iOS devices.
>>
>> 1.1
>> In the first scenario the attacker requests for example via siri an non existing app, after that siri answers with an appstore link to search for it.
>> Then the attacker opens the link and a restricted browser window is opened and listing some apps. At that point it is possible to unauthorized switch
>> back to the internal home screen by interaction with the home button or with siri again. The link to bypass the controls is visible in the siri
>> interface only and is called "open App Store". The vulnerability is exploitable in the Apple iPhone 5 & 6(s) with iOS v9.0, v9.1 & v9.2.1
>>
>> 1.2
>> In the second scenario the attacker is using the control panel to gain access to the non restricted clock app. The local attacker opens the app via
>> siri or via panel and opens then the timer to the end timer or Radar module. The developers of the app grant apple customers to buy more sounds for
>> alerts and implemented a link. By pushing the link a restricted appstore browser window opens. At that point it is possible to unauthorized switch
>> back to the internal home screen by interaction with the home button or with siri again. The link to bypass the controls becomes visible in the
>> Alert - Tone (Wecker - Ton) & Timer (End/Radar) and is called "Buy more Tones". The vulnerability is exploitable in the Apple iPhone 5 & 6(s)
>> with iOS v9.0, v9.1 & v9.2.1.
>>
>> 1.3
>> In the third scenario the attacker opens via panel or by a siri request the clock app. After that he opens the internal world clock module. In the
>> buttom right is a link to the weather channel that redirects to the store as far as its deactivated. By pushing the link a restricted appstore
>> browser window opens. At that point it is possible to unauthorized switch back to the internal home screen by interaction with the home button or
>> with siri again. The link to bypass the controls becomes visible in the World Clock (Weather Channel) and is an image as link. Thus special case is
>> limited to the iPad because only in that models use to display the web world map. In the iPhone version the bug does not exist because the map is
>> not displayed because of using a limited template. The vulnerability is exploitable in the Apple iPad2 with iOS v9.0, v9.1 & v9.2.1.
>>
>> 1.4
>> In the fourth scenario the attacker opens via siri the 'App & Event Calender' panel. After that the attacker opens under the Tomorrow task the
>> 'Information of Weather' (Informationen zum Wetter - Weather Channel LLC) link on the left bottom. As far as the weather app is deactivated on the
>> Apple iOS device, a new browser window opens to the appstore. At that point it is possible to unauthorized switch back to the internal home screen
>> by interaction with the home button or with siri again. The link to bypass the controls becomes visible in the App & Events Calender panel.
>> The vulnerability is exploitable in the Apple Pad2 with iOS v9.0, v9.1 & v9.2.1.
>>
>> The security risk of the passcode bypass vulnerability is estimated as high with a cvss (common vulnerability scoring system) count of 6.4.
>> Exploitation of the passcode protection mechanism bypass vulnerability requires no privileged ios device user account or low user interaction.
>> Physical apple device access is required for successful exploitation. Successful exploitation of the vulnerability results in unauthorized
>> device access, mobile apple device compromise and leak of sensitive device data like the address-book, photos, sms, mms, emails, phone app,
>> mailbox, phone settings or access to other default/installed mobile apps.

>> Manual steps to reproduce the vulnerability ... (Events Calender App - Weather Channel LLC Link) iPad (Models: 1 & 2) & iPhone (Models: 5, 5s, 6 & 6s)
>> 1. Take the iOS device and lock the passcode to the front

>>
>>
>> Video Demonstration: In the attached video demonstration we show how to bypass the passcode of the iphone 6s via the siri App Store- & timer Buy more Tones link.
>> In the video we activated the passcode and setup to activate the control center by default to the locked mobile front screen. Siri was activated as well by default.
>>
>>
>> Solution - Fix & Patch:
>> =======================
>> The vulnerabilities can be temporarily patched by the end user by hardening of the device settings. Deactivate in the Settings menu the Siri module permanently.
>> Deactivate also the Events Calender without passcode to disable the push function of the Weather Channel LLC link. Deactivate in the next step the public control
>> panel with the timer and world clock to disarm exploitation. Aktivate the weather app settings to prevent the redirect when the module is disabled by default in
>> the events calender. Finally apple needs to issue a patch as workaround for the issue but since this happens a temp solution has bin published as well.
>>
>>
>> Security Risk:
>> ==============
>> The security risk of the passcode protection mechanism bypass vulnerabilities in the apple ipad and iphone mobile devices are estimated as high. (CVSS 6.4)
