At a very high level: the attacker sends a picture which somehow is opened by Apple Wallet and leads to the execution of arbitrary code (this is the vulnerability, in how the wallet parses the picture, allowing for a buffer overflow), deactivation of certain security features and download/execution of the malicious payload.
