Set passcode to appear "immediately" -- if you set it for 1 min/5 min/15 min/1 hour/4 hours, then this "vulnerability" really isn't one.


Tried this with both "immediately" and 15 min on iPad Mini. Reproduced it every time.

As a side note, one can use this bug to access contacts list and send email on behalf of the owner (via share menu in photo stream).

Edit:

Just found out that I can tweet, post to facebook and send email just by using Siri (if that setting is enabled). Although, this might be the correct behavior.


The writer clarifies in the comments that yes, he had the passcode set to 'immediately' to repro this.
