FORCEDENTRY
open-in-new
<p>FORCEDENTRY, also capitalized as ForcedEntry, is a <a href="/facts/Security_exploit/EdlqsRJM">security exploit</a> allegedly developed by <a href="/facts/NSO_Group/e0wyTlTs">NSO Group</a> to deploy their <a href="/facts/Pegasus_spyware/gfDBqYHX">Pegasus spyware</a>. It enables the "<a href="/facts/Zero-click_attack/EdlqsRJM">zero-click</a>" exploit that is prevalent in <a href="/facts/IOS_13/az5Ncxzu">iOS 13</a> and below, but also compromises recent safeguards set by <a href="/facts/Apple_Inc./oTJYta3k">Apple</a>'s "BlastDoor" in <a href="/facts/IOS_14/byEDcEJ3">iOS 14</a> and later. In September 2021, Apple released new versions of its operating systems for multiple device families containing a fix for the vulnerability. </p>
