Jailbreaking experts have found a vulnerability in iOS apps that allows hackers to run malicious code. However, no details as to how the bug can be exploited have been released so far.

In order for malicious code to be run in an app, the device has to be connected to a WiFi network controlled by a hacker.
The vulnerability may lie in the ZipArchive utility; however, this has not yet been confirmed by the Pangu team. A list of potentially infected apps has been published, including Instagram, Pandora and Dropbox.

Apple has not officially confirmed the existence of the security bug. The issue may also affect Android apps, as many of them have the same bug.
