DescriptionCVE.org

This issue was addressed with improved handling of symlinks. This issue is fixed in iOS 26.3 and iPadOS 26.3, macOS Sequoia 15.7.4, macOS Sequoia 15.7.5, macOS Sonoma 14.8.4, macOS Sonoma 14.8.5, macOS Tahoe 26.3, macOS Tahoe 26.4. An app may be able to access user-sensitive data.

AnalysisAI

This vulnerability involves improper handling of symbolic links in Apple operating systems that could allow an application to access user-sensitive data without proper authorization. The flaw affects iOS and iPadOS versions prior to 26.3, macOS Sequoia versions prior to 15.7.4, macOS Sonoma versions prior to 14.8.4, and macOS Tahoe versions prior to 26.3 and 26.4. An attacker with the ability to execute code in a sandboxed application context could potentially bypass security restrictions to access protected user information, though no active exploitation in the wild has been confirmed at this time.

Technical ContextAI

The vulnerability is a symlink handling issue classified as an Information Disclosure vulnerability (CWE category not specified in available data). The affected technology involves the file system abstraction layer across Apple's operating systems that processes symbolic links. CPE data indicates the vulnerability impacts the broader Apple iOS/iPadOS platform (cpe:2.3:a:apple:ios_and_ipados) and Apple macOS platform (cpe:2.3:a:apple:macos) across multiple releases. The root cause relates to insufficient validation or sanitization of symbolic link references, which could allow applications to traverse security boundaries and access sensitive files outside their intended sandbox environment. This is a class of vulnerability where attackers exploit the operating system's symlink resolution mechanism to circumvent access controls that should prevent applications from reading user-sensitive data.

RemediationAI

Immediately update iOS devices to version 26.3 or later, update iPadOS to version 26.3 or later, update macOS Sequoia to version 15.7.4 or later, update macOS Sonoma to version 14.8.4 or later, and update macOS Tahoe to version 26.3 or later. Consult the corresponding Apple security advisories at the vendor URLs provided (https://support.apple.com/en-us/126346 through 126796) for detailed patch availability and installation procedures. Until patching is completed, administrators should enforce stricter application sandboxing policies, disable unnecessary file system permissions for applications, and monitor system logs for suspicious symlink access patterns. Additionally, review installed third-party applications for legitimacy and consider restricting app installations to verified sources pending patch deployment.
