The team behind the Pangu jailbreak stopped using a bug discovered by i0n1c in the latest version of their utility, apparently burning another exploit in the process.

Many were already upset that the team released a jailbreak for iOS 7.1.1; rather than saving the exploits used for a potential iOS 8 jailbreak.

At the time of initial release I0n1c declared, "if pangu team releases a public jailbreak with vulnerabilities disclosed to them during my training I consider this in no way okay." It turns out the team was using his vulnerability.

The new 1.1 version of Pangu released today has replaced this exploit with an infoleak bug: Using new info leak bug instead of @i0n1c's.

Commenting on the update MuscleNerd said, "Don’t see that often! Pangu says they replaced some of last week’s exploits with new ones in today’s 1.1 update."

I0n1c said, "Hilarious so the guys from Pangu want to re-release their jailbreak and do not use my bugs? So they finally admit their actions were bad. The JB scene will love them for wasting even more bugs on something unimportant like a .1 upgrade."

He also noted that that jailbreak still uses functions of his: "So new Pangu most probably kills more bugs, which is a shame because they needlessly killed various infoleaks from the training. But new Pangu is still linked against my code and has my watermarked functions in it..."

If the whole point in saving an exploit is so we'll get a JB sooner for the major iOS releases, then why does it still take so long for a JB to be released?

Had to say jst a few quick things. Many people forget since the jb last year, so many people have bought new iPhones since & with newer iOS versions on them they have to wait 6-9 months or even more till the next new iPhone release & jailbreak while being teased by dev team with videos showing they have their iPhones jb with the newer iOS versions out making the rest of us wait due to no fault of our own. I bought my 5S in February at an att store and it came with 7.0.3 so I was lucky but if I had to wait till near Xmas to jb it I would be pissed. Hint: if buying a new iPhone it's better to get from att, etc rather than apple as phones from Apple will always be updated before you get it. I'm not going to use the new jb as there's no need to for me but again I was lucky when I bought mine. I'm on the fence as to whether it should have been released but if I wasn't already jb I would be happy it came out. Please people be kind to each other on here.

That's the problem with the new "security researchers" that develops the jailbreak tools, they want to keep these exploits as long as they can instead of taking it as a challenge to explore or find new ones if another is/was burned. Come on, lets all be real! Not everyone have the talent or expertise to find an exploit but thats were all these people (security researchers) are for. Everyone have different talents & expertise and if you stay on the same level as you were even a year ago, then you are not progressing. Just take it as a challenge and move on. Create/discover new ones.

Alest theyre doing something whats the point of waiting 6-8 month for jailbreak. And if they where going to black those bug they would have done it buy now they been using limerain bug forever.

will this jail break an iDevice that's been OTA updated?

omlette - June 30, 2014 at 2:19pm

nope it wont. you must do a manual restore from itunes.

JK - June 30, 2014 at 10:29am

i don't think so ~ becuz they are chineses , that meaning some probably would be happen include jb from the future and why do you think whey are keep to got more bug can be use for jb?

you make a jailbreak for iphone users to use and enjoy. there is little use making a jailbreak and keeping it for yourself, just showing a video of it in action. Why all this hate towards Pangu? they are not charging us $ for this jb

because thanks to them we'll have to wait longer for a public iOS 8 jailbreak. all for what? for the silly guys who got their phone on 7.1 instead of sticking to a 7.0.x device. is it worth it? no.

amamartin999 - June 30, 2014 at 5:17pm

So, I just got the iPhone 4, so idc about iOS 8. Its a good thing they released it.

If you don't want your exploits being used, stop using them in your trainings! This was bound to happen one day if you hand out exploits to everyone who attends them...

easier said than done when ur sitting ur lazy ass and just using it.

Ilovejailbreaking - June 30, 2014 at 4:25am

Whatever. A jailbreak is a jailbreak. Oh well who cares :P i'm just happy i'm jailbroken. And at least one person will make it possible to jailbreak all iOS versions no mater how many vulnerabilities are patched. Either way, its all possible...

I agree with you both (releasing and saving for later use) but, you know apple.. once they release an update (iOS 8) it's only a matter of hours and they will close the window to update on the previous iOS (7.1.1) there's no going back. We also know apple copies/barrows ideas from jb community and integrates its on future release. Sooner or later all nice tweaks will be on iOS x.x and probably, people will stick and wont jailbreak anymore. imo, if a chance given, why not release if it is safe and secure.
