This issue was addressed through improved state management. This issue is fixed in iOS 26.6 and iPadOS 26.6. An attacker with physical access may be able to access sensitive user data during iPhone Mirroring.
AnalysisAI
Physical access to an iPhone or iPad running vulnerable iOS/iPadOS versions allows an attacker to access sensitive user data during the iPhone Mirroring feature due to improper state management. This issue is fixed in iOS 26.6 and iPadOS 26.6. No known exploitation in the wild; EPSS score is low (0.15%, percentile 5%).
Technical ContextAI
iPhone Mirroring is a feature that allows a user to mirror their iPhone screen to a Mac or another device, typically for remote control or content sharing. The vulnerability (CWE-284: Improper Access Control) arises from flawed state management during the mirroring session, where the system fails to enforce proper access controls when the mirrored device is physically interacted with. According to the CPE, the affected products are Apple iOS and iPadOS versions prior to 26.6, encompassing a wide range of iPhone and iPad models.
RemediationAI
Update to iOS 26.6 or iPadOS 26.6, which contains the fix. The update can be obtained through the device's Settings > General > Software Update. No workarounds have been disclosed, but as a compensating control, ensure that devices are not left unattended while iPhone Mirroring is active, and consider disabling the mirroring feature when not in use. Apply the patch to all affected devices as soon as possible. Refer to Apple's advisory at https://support.apple.com/en-us/128066.
