| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires the attacker to be within wireless/radio proximity of the target device (CVSS AV:A, adjacent - not routable over the internet); the vulnerable wireless-stack code path that performs the out-of-bounds read must be reachable, which is the case on default configurations of affected Apple OS versions (iOS/iPadOS before 26.7 and before 27, macOS before 15.8/26.7/27, tvOS/visionOS/watchOS before 27). No authentication (PR:N) and no user interaction (UI:N) are needed. The key LIMITING factors are the mandatory physical proximity (prevents remote or automated mass exploitation - SSVC Automatable=no) and the impact ceiling of availability only (device crash/reboot), with no confidentiality or integrity effect. |
| Impact | Signals are consistent and point to a moderate, availability-only risk. The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:A/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H, base 6.5) describes an unauthenticated, low-complexity attack over an adjacent/wireless channel whose only impact is availability (system termination) - no confidentiality or integrity loss. CISA's SSVC framework agrees and tempers the urgency: Exploitation=none (no observed or public exploitation), Automatable=no (proximity requirement prevents mass/wormable abuse), Technical Impact=partial. The CVE is NOT in CISA KEV and no POC is indicated, so there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis. The practical ceiling is a denial-of-service/crash of a device within radio range, not remote code execution or data theft. Note a data tension: the input Tags include 'Information Disclosure' and 'Buffer Overflow', but the authoritative CVSS vector sets C:N/I:N and the description states only 'unexpected system termination' - treat this as a DoS-only out-of-bounds read, not an info-leak, unless the vendor states otherwise. Net: a real but low-priority patch-management item (crash of Apple devices by an attacker in physical proximity), not a high-urgency, internet-exploitable threat. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker within wireless/radio proximity of a target Apple device (e.g., the same Wi-Fi/Bluetooth/AWDL range in a public space) transmits malformed wireless frames that trigger an out-of-bounds read in the vulnerable parsing code. The low attack complexity and lack of required authentication or user interaction (AV:A/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N) make the crash reliable once in range, but the adjacent-only vector means the attacker must be physically nearby. No public exploit is identified at time of analysis. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 20, 2026
Out-of-bounds read in Apple's wireless stack can crash affected devices when an unauthenticated attacker within wireless/radio proximity triggers the vulnerable code path. It affects iOS/iPadOS before 26.7 and before 27, macOS before Sequoia 15.8, Tahoe 26.7, and Golden Gate 27, plus tvOS, visionOS, and watchOS before 27; Apple has released fixed versions. No public exploit code was identified at time of analysis, and CISA SSVC rates exploitation as none and automation as no.
RemediationAI
Vendor-released patch: iOS 26.7 and iPadOS 26.7, iOS 27 and iPadOS 27, macOS Sequoia 15.8, macOS Tahoe 26.7, macOS Golden Gate 27, tvOS 27, visionOS 27, and watchOS 27. Apply the appropriate Apple update using the advisories at https://support.apple.com/en-us/149034, https://support.apple.com/en-us/149035, https://support.apple.com/en-us/149036, https://support.apple.com/en-us/149037, https://support.apple.com/en-us/149038, https://support.apple.com/en-us/149041, https://support.apple.com/en-us/149042, and https://support.apple.com/en-us/149043. If immediate patching is not possible, reduce adjacency exposure by restricting physical access to affected devices, avoiding untrusted wireless environments, and disabling unused Wi-Fi/Bluetooth radios; these controls lower the chance of reaching the vulnerable code path but break wireless connectivity and may not eliminate risk if the vulnerable radio path is required.

CWE-125 describes a read past the end of an allocated buffer due to insufficient bounds checking. Apple's CPE coverage identifies iOS and iPadOS, macOS, tvOS, visionOS, and watchOS as affected platform families. The assessed vector is CVSS:3.1/AV:A/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H, meaning the attacker must be on an adjacent wireless/radio network rather than reaching the device over the internet, no authentication or user interaction is required, and the impact is availability-only through unexpected system termination. Although CWE-125 can in some implementations expose memory contents, the assessed vector assigns no confidentiality or integrity impact and the described outcome is a device crash; CISA SSVC records exploitation as none and technical impact as partial.

AV:A/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H
Wireless-proximity attack is adjacent (AV:A) with no auth or interaction (PR:N/UI:N); out-of-bounds read causes only system termination, so C:N/I:N/A:H.

A buffer overflow occurs when a program writes more data to a memory buffer than it was allocated to hold, causing the excess data to spill into adjacent memory regions.
Information disclosure occurs when an application unintentionally exposes sensitive data that aids attackers in reconnaissance or directly compromises security.
