Executive Summary

The vulnerability exists in the LINE client for iOS versions prior to 26.3.0, specifically in its in-app browser. When a user opens a specially crafted web page, it can repeatedly trigger operating system level dialogs. This repeated triggering can cause the iOS device to become temporarily inoperable.

Impact Analysis

This vulnerability can impact you by causing your iOS device to become temporarily unusable. Since the crafted web page can repeatedly trigger OS-level dialogs, it may disrupt normal device operation and prevent you from using your device until the issue resolves.

Mitigation Strategies

To mitigate this vulnerability, update the LINE client for iOS to version 26.3.0 or later, as versions prior to 26.3.0 contain the vulnerability.

Avoid opening untrusted or crafted web pages within the in-app browser until the update is applied.
