AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
Apple confirms only app termination, so I score A:H with C:N/I:N; remote crafted content with required user interaction gives AV:N/PR:N/UI:R.

Lifecycle Timeline

An out-of-bounds write issue was addressed with improved bounds checking. This issue is fixed in iOS 26.6 and iPadOS 26.6, macOS Sequoia 15.7.8, macOS Sonoma 14.8.8, macOS Tahoe 26.6, tvOS 26.6, visionOS 26.6, watchOS 26.6. An attacker may be able to cause unexpected app termination.
AnalysisAI
Out-of-bounds write in Apple operating systems (iOS/iPadOS, macOS, tvOS, visionOS, watchOS) allows an attacker to trigger memory corruption leading to unexpected application termination when a victim processes maliciously crafted content. The flaw affects all major Apple platforms below the fixed versions and was reported and patched by Apple. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis, and EPSS exploitation probability is low (0.17%, 7th percentile).
Technical ContextAI
This is a memory-safety defect classified as CWE-787 (Out-of-bounds Write), a class in which code writes past the bounds of an allocated buffer, corrupting adjacent memory. Apple states it was addressed with improved bounds checking, indicating a missing or incorrect length/offset validation in a component that parses attacker-influenced data. The affected surface spans Apple's shared OS codebase, per the CPE list covering apple:ios_and_ipados, apple:macos, apple:tvos, apple:visionos, and apple:watchos, which strongly suggests the vulnerable code lives in a framework common to all these platforms (e.g., a media, font, or content-parsing library). Tags corroborate the root cause: Memory Corruption and Buffer Overflow.
RemediationAI
Apply the Apple updates that contain the fix: Vendor-released patch - iOS 26.6 and iPadOS 26.6, macOS Tahoe 26.6, macOS Sequoia 15.7.8, macOS Sonoma 14.8.8, tvOS 26.6, visionOS 26.6, and watchOS 26.6. Consult the matching Apple advisory for your platform (https://support.apple.com/en-us/128066-128072) to confirm the exact build for your device before deployment. No vendor workaround is documented; because exploitation requires the user to open or process attacker-supplied content, an effective compensating control until patching is to avoid opening untrusted files, messages, and web content and to restrict delivery channels for such content - with the trade-off that this is user-behavior-dependent and cannot fully substitute for the update.
