Title

Apple iOS/iPadOS 26 must disable copy/paste of data from managed to unmanaged applications.

Control

Note: If an organization has multiple configuration profiles, the check procedure must be performed on the relevant configuration profiles applicable to the scope of the review. In the iOS management tool, verify "Require managed pasteboard" is set to "True". If "Require managed pasteboard" is not set to "True", this is a finding.

Discussion

If a user is able to configure the security setting, the user could inadvertently or maliciously set it to a value that poses unacceptable risk to DOD information systems. An adversary could exploit vulnerabilities created by the weaker configuration to compromise DOD sensitive information. SFR ID: FMT_SMF.1.1 #47
