Clipwire is a kernel exploit development harness specifically designed for the iPhone 11 series running iOS 26.1, aimed at demonstrating vulnerabilities discovered through patch diffing between versions 26.1 and 26.6 of Apple's XNU kernel. It exploits two identified bugs: one related to unlocked operations in the copy-on-write (COW) submap fault path, and the other concerning insufficient bounds checks in memory object management, allowing for potential privilege escalation and memory corruption. Notable features include a structured source code layout for various exploit stages, as well as tools for physical memory read/write operations and object discovery, catering to researchers in exploit development.
