AIOS-16-714600 - Apple iOS/iPadOS 16 must disable copy/paste of data from managed to unmanaged applications.

Information

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.
