It’s easy to look up, it has historically been used to spy on human rights activists and reporters.

It’s sold by the NSO group, that has repeatedly tried to smear and spy on organisations that report on them knowingly selling to and supporting governments that are using these tools to attack HRAs, etc.

I assume that they have updated it since it first came to light, as the vulnerabilities at the time were all fixed.

Note that the vulnerabilities that they use are all the same ones used by jailbreaks, so fixing them necessarily means preventing jailbreaks.

Well, unless there was a method to jailbreak your device that did not require a chain of software vulnerabilities.
