5DescriptionCVE.org
An authorization issue was addressed with improved state management. This issue is fixed in iOS 26.6 and iPadOS 26.6. An app may be able to access sensitive user data.
AnalysisAI
Information disclosure in iOS and iPadOS versions before 26.6 allows a locally installed malicious application to access sensitive user data without proper authorization. Apple addressed the flaw in iOS 26.6 and iPadOS 26.6 with improved state management; no active exploitation or public proof-of-concept has been identified. The EPSS exploitation probability is low (0.14%), consistent with the local attack vector and required user interaction.
Technical ContextAI
The vulnerability resides in the operating system's state management for app authorization and is classified as CWE-200 (Exposure of Sensitive Information). The affected product, as indicated by the CPE string 'cpe:2.3:a:apple:ios_and_ipados', encompasses all iOS and iPadOS releases prior to the fix. The issue likely involves improper handling of app state transitions or permission checks, enabling an app to read data it should not normally access.
RemediationAI
Update to iOS 26.6 or iPadOS 26.6 as specified in Apple's advisory (https://support.apple.com/en-us/128066). No workarounds are documented. Users should refrain from sideloading untrusted apps or installing enterprise profiles from unknown sources until the update is applied, as these bypass App Store review.
