✦AI Summary
Security researchers have discovered that Apple's iCloud Private Relay feature fails to mask user IP addresses when interacting with WebAuthn passkeys. The vulnerability exists because the operating system's credential service bypasses the proxy path used by Safari.
Apple's paid Safari protection feature that promises to keep your IP masked doesn't always work, according to security researchers Tommy Mysk and Talal Haj Bakry . It turns out iCloud Private Relay can expose your real IP to websites that use or pretend to use passkeys.
