DescriptionCVE.org

This issue was addressed with improved data protection. This issue is fixed in iOS 26.5 and iPadOS 26.5, macOS Tahoe 26.5, visionOS 26.5. An app may be able to access sensitive user data.

AnalysisAI

Apple operating systems prior to version 26.5 allow installed applications to access sensitive user data through an information disclosure vulnerability requiring local access and user interaction. The flaw affects iOS, iPadOS, macOS Tahoe, and visionOS across all versions before 26.5, with an EPSS score of 0.02% indicating low real-world exploitation probability despite the local attack vector and high confidentiality impact.

Technical ContextAI

This vulnerability is classified as CWE-200 (Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor), indicating a data protection weakness in Apple's operating systems. The issue arises from insufficient access controls or isolation boundaries that permit applications to read sensitive user data they should not have access to. The local attack vector (AV:L) combined with no privilege requirement (PR:N) but requiring user interaction (UI:R) suggests the vulnerability may be triggered through user-initiated actions such as file access, clipboard operations, or inter-process communication (IPC) mechanisms. The affected CPE strings indicate the vulnerability impacts all iOS/iPadOS versions, all macOS versions, and all visionOS versions prior to the 26.5 release across all product editions.

RemediationAI

Apply vendor-released patch by updating to iOS 26.5, iPadOS 26.5, macOS Tahoe 26.5, or visionOS 26.5 depending on affected device type. Navigate to Settings > General > Software Update on iOS/iPadOS and visionOS devices, or System Settings > General > Software Update on macOS. For organizations managing multiple devices, deploy updates through Mobile Device Management (MDM) or Mac management tools. No documented workarounds exist for unpatched systems; the patch includes improved data protection mechanisms that cannot be replicated through configuration alone. Users should prioritize updating devices that store or access highly sensitive personal information. Patch deployment should be staged to ensure system stability, beginning with non-critical devices.
