It's supposed to. We don't even know for sure that there's a flaw in it; they might have just bypassed it, found a way to read the flash memory directly.
I'm not saying extraction is technically impossible, just that you can't simply bypass the SEP and read its flash the way hardware reversers do with other embedded systems.

The Secure Enclave prevents this

The memory used by the SEP is encrypted.
With a key. Which is stored in SEP hardware. Which could, in theory, be extracted.

The secure enclave SHOULD prevent this! The cellebrite people found some vulnerability, but we dont know in which component.
