Still there are no untethered / semi untethered jailbreaks for iOS 15 & higher versions. So, you can’t jailbreak iOS 15, iOS 15.0.1, iOS 15.0.2, iOS 15.1, iOS 15.1.1, iOS 15.2, iOS 15.2.1 or iOS 15.3 beta yet.
However, it has reported several iOS 15 vulnerabilities / exploits up to now. Earlier we published an article about some of them.
Here are the latest vulnerabilities.
- Ian beer published New kernel vulnerability PoC
Google Project Zero researcher Ian beer released a kernel-level vulnerability proof of concept (PoC) using CVE-2021-30949. He used macOS for his proof of concept. It has been patched releasing iOS 15.2 and it was mentioned in Apple Security Content. According to that, it has an impact on iOS or iPadOS 15.1.1 or earlier versions running iPhone 6s and later, iPad Pro (all models), iPad Air 2 and later, iPad 5th generation and later, iPad mini 4 and later, and iPod touch (7th generation).
- A brand new kernel exploit achieved for iOS 15.2 and lower by Justin Sherman.
A couple of weeks ago iOS security researcher Justin Sherman showed off a working kernel exploit supporting iOS & iPadOS 15.2. The exploit is capable of getting arbitrary R/W on the kernel which makes it suitable for jailbreak purposes. The exploit used on an iPhone 8 running iOS 15.2 according to Sherman’s original Tweet.
Apple made jailbreaking even more difficult by introducing signed system volume (SSV) protections with iOS / iPadOS 15. So, Jailbreak developers are waiting for a workable exploit to facilitate a jailbreak release for iOS & iPadOS 15 & higher versions. Let’s see whether these write-ups are useful for creating Jailbreak for iOS 15 & higher versions.
