What happened
Apple will check iCloud photos and files shared via "Anyone with the Link" for harmful content. The article's title says iOS 27.3, but its body says iOS 17.3, with iPadOS, macOS and visionOS 17.3 or later also named, so the starting version is unclear. Content shared only with invited recipients is distinguished from public links. No CVE is involved, and the detection method and opt-out options are not described in the available text.
