MASTG-KNOW-0101 previously covered only Apple's standard logging APIs (
NSLog,print,Logger,os_log). Developers introduce logs through additional mechanisms that should be documented for comprehensive security testing.Changes
Added "Additional Logging Sources" section documenting four logging vectors:
Native Libraries: C/C++ libraries writing to
stdout/stderrviaprintf,fprintf- outputs appear in device logs when integrated into iOS appsCrash Reporting Tools: Services like Crashlytics, Sentry record logs/breadcrumbs/contextual data to disk before upload, creating persistent records that outlive app sessions
Networking/HTTP Clients: Verbose/debug modes that log headers, URLs, response bodies, auth tokens - risk exposure when inadvertently enabled in production
WebView Console: JavaScript
console.*methods bridged to native logging viaWKScriptMessageHandlerforWKWebViewContent maintains knowledge-file convention: descriptive (not prescriptive), no security testing implications, no remediation advice.
