CVE-2011-3429
The Settings component in Apple iOS before 5 stores a cleartext parental-restrictions passcode in an unspecified file, which might allow physically proximate attackers to obtain sensitive information by reading this file.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.37%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
