A representative of CMC Cyber Security Redteam said that the vulnerability is related to decentralization and configuration on Apple's system. After being exploited by the team, token and account to log into the system with administrator authority were taken. With this privilege, hackers can steal information relating to the database of Apple's internal system, causing leaks of sensitive data.

CMC Cyber Security is the leading institution in the field of cybersecurity in Vietnam. CMC Cyber Security's RedTeam was formed in 2019, consisting of security professionals specializing in cybersecurity control for businesses. Its goal is focusing on security vulnerabilities, vulnerability exploitation techniques and actual attack techniques that hackers often use in cyber attacks. The team uses all techniques to find weaknesses in terms of human, processes and technologies that can be abused to illegally access assets of businesses. After carrying out simulated attacks, RedTeam comes up with proposals and plans to strengthen business security. In addition, the team also detects and studies security holes, risks and threats that hackers can exploit in software applications, networks or web applications (Pentest), as well as actively searches for cyber threats that are lurking without being detected in the network (Threat hunting). The findings of CMC Redteam both contribute to the community (through finding and reporting vulnerabilities to system owners in order to patch them) and improve the professional skills and expertise of CMC Cyber Security technicians.
