MITRE ATT&CK
2 techniques across 2 tactics: Execution, Privilege Escalation The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires a malicious or compromised app to run on the affected Apple device and reach the vulnerable code path; the description states 'An app may be able to cause unexpected system termination or corrupt process memory' but does not name the specific feature, API, or configuration that triggers the out-of-bounds write. Limiting factors: the attacker must first get an app onto the device (subject to App Store review and the iOS/iPadOS/visionOS app sandbox), and the confirmed outcome is process/system crash or memory corruption rather than demonstrated code execution or sandbox escape. The vendor CVSS claims a network vector (AV:N) with user interaction (UI:R), but the app-based description points to local execution - verify the actual reachability with Apple before treating this as remotely exploitable. Affected: iOS/iPadOS before 26.7.2 and before 27.2, and visionOS before 27.2. |
| Impact | This is a moderate-severity memory-safety flaw (CWE-787 out-of-bounds write) that in practice is a lower real-world priority than its 6.5 score might suggest. The signals are internally consistent on the low side: EPSS is 0.55% (46th percentile), SSVC reports Exploitation=none / Automatable=no / Technical Impact=partial, there is no CISA KEV listing and no public exploit or PoC reference in the provided data - exploitation status is therefore 'no public exploit identified at time of analysis.' The vendor-supplied CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H) conflicts with the description: the description states 'An app may be able to cause unexpected system termination or corrupt process memory,' which describes a locally installed app triggering the bug, not a network-reachable attack - the AV:N rating should be treated with caution and is more realistically a local (AV:L) condition. Impact is confined to availability/memory integrity (C:N/I:N/A:H); there is no confirmed code-execution, data-disclosure, or sandbox-escape claim in the evidence. The vuln.today Decision label is 'this_month,' consistent with a patch-on-normal-cadence item rather than an emergency. Net: genuine but not urgent - schedule the update within the normal monthly cycle. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | A user installs a malicious or compromised app that invokes the vulnerable code path, triggering an out-of-bounds write that corrupts process memory and crashes the process or the system. No public exploit or PoC is identified in the provided data, and the exact triggering API or feature is not described in the available sources. Realistic impact per the evidence is denial of service / memory corruption, not confirmed code execution. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 28, 2026
Out-of-bounds write in Apple iOS/iPadOS before 26.7.2 and 27.2, and visionOS before 27.2, can let a malicious or compromised app corrupt process memory or cause unexpected system termination. The vendor lists CVSS 6.5 with a network/user-interaction vector, but the app-based trigger and independent assessment indicate local execution with no privileges or user interaction, and the attacker must first get an app onto the device. No public exploit was identified at time of analysis (EPSS 0.55%), and Apple has released fixed versions.
RemediationAI
Vendor-released patch: iOS 26.7.2 and iPadOS 26.7.2, iOS 27.2 and iPadOS 27.2, and visionOS 27.2. Update affected devices to the appropriate fixed release; Apple's advisories are https://support.apple.com/en-us/149227, https://support.apple.com/en-us/149230, and https://support.apple.com/en-us/149526. The provided sources do not identify a separate workaround, and the app-based precondition means exposure is limited until the update is installed.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The flaw is a CWE-787 out-of-bounds write that Apple addressed with improved bounds checking. The affected code is reachable by an app on iOS/iPadOS and visionOS; CPE data identifies apple:ios_and_ipados and apple:visionos prior to the fixed releases, and EUVD lists iOS/iPadOS 0 <26.7.2 and 0 <27.2 plus visionOS 0 <27.2. The provided sources do not name the specific API, feature, or configuration that triggers the write, so the exact attack surface is not described. The description states only that an app may cause unexpected system termination or corrupt process memory; vendor CVSS uses AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R with availability impact, while the independent assessment uses AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N with partial integrity and high availability impact. SSVC records exploitation none, automatable no, and partial technical impact.

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.
Memory corruption occurs when a program writes data beyond the boundaries of allocated memory regions or accesses memory in unintended ways, violating the integrity of the process's address space.
