# forcequitOS/worse_query

> A proof-of-concept sandbox escape for iOS 26.0–26.7.2 and 27.2 that lets an app access system containers outside its own sandbox. Intended for developers, not end users.

- Magnitude: 2.6 out of 10 — Cooling
- Stars: 622 total · +10 stars measured 2026-11-14, 00:05–11:16 UTC, ≈ 22 by evening
- Star trust: star growth looks organic

## Useful for

- Study the escape technique when auditing iOS sandbox restrictions.
- Test access to AppGroup and SystemGroup containers from a research app.
- Verify which paths on iOS 26/27 an app can reach after the escape.

## Why it’s here

- Star-counter measurements on 2026-11-14 (UTC), 00:05–11:16: 612 → 622 stars (+10). This is the change over that interval.
- Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +22 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
- The repository is 6 days old and already has 622 stars. With less than two weeks of history, there's no usual pace to compare the spike against yet.
- Top new repositories this week: #16.
- About 8 forks a day — people are taking the code.

## Star trust

Star growth looks organic.

Star-trust labels are heuristics based on the repository’s behavior, not a check of every stargazer.

## Numbers

- Forks: 155
- Issues and pull requests: 0
- Watchers: 6
- Average over the last week: 92 per day
- Usual pace: too little history (under two weeks)
- Stars in the last hour (measured): 0

Magnitude (0–10) measures how fast and how unusually interest in a repository is growing right now. It is not a quality score.
Days are UTC. “So far today” is a fact; “expected by the end of the day” is a forecast.
Summaries and use cases are written by an LLM (DeepSeek V4.1 Flash) from the README and may be inaccurate: verify specific claims (benchmarks, speed, hardware) in the repository itself.
