Coruna exploit kit recycles Triangulation iOS zero‑days

Kaspersky found the Coruna iOS exploit kit is a maintained successor to Operation Triangulation. The kit reuses updated kernel zero‑days, notably CVE‑2023‑32434 and CVE‑2023‑38606, and includes additional kernel exploits. It targets iPhones on iOS 13–17.2.1 with checks for A17 and M3 chips and has been used in both targeted espionage and mass watering‑hole and fake‑site campaigns delivering PlasmaLoader; active distribution links let researchers collect and decrypt the framework.
