MITRE ATT&CK
1 technique across 1 tactic: Collection The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | Physical access to the locked device is required. The vulnerability is triggered without authentication (PR:N) or user interaction (UI:N) while the device is in a locked state. Limiting factors: the attacker must have physical proximity and access to the device; the attack is not remotely exploitable and does not require special configurations or non-default settings. |
| Impact | The CVSS 3.1 base score of 4.6 (AV:P/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N) indicates medium severity with high confidentiality impact but requires physical access. EPSS score is 0.16% (percentile 6%), suggesting very low exploitation probability. No KEV listing or public PoC exists, reinforcing low real-world risk. The attack vector (physical) significantly limits exploitation compared to network-accessible flaws. There is no conflict among signals - all point to a locally-exploitable, low-priority issue. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker with physical access to a locked iPhone, iPad, or Mac could connect the device via USB or trigger the vulnerable interface to cause an out-of-bounds read, potentially revealing sensitive information such as notifications, credentials, or personal data. No public exploit code is known to exist. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Jul 28, 2026
Physical access to a locked Apple device running vulnerable iOS or macOS allows an attacker to view sensitive user information due to an out-of-bounds read. The flaw is fixed in iOS 26.6, iPadOS 26.6, and multiple macOS versions. No public exploit or active exploitation has been reported.
RemediationAI
Update to iOS 26.6, iPadOS 26.6, macOS Sequoia 15.7.8, macOS Sonoma 14.8.8, or macOS Tahoe 26.6 as provided by Apple via Software Update. No workarounds are available; mitigating physical access (e.g., strong passcodes, enabling Find My, avoiding unattended devices) reduces exposure but does not patch the vulnerability.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The vulnerability is an out-of-bounds read (CWE-125) in Apple's operating systems - iOS, iPadOS, and macOS - where improper bounds checking allows a physically present attacker to read beyond allocated memory buffers. Affected products per CPE include all versions of iOS and iPadOS before 26.6 and macOS before 15.7.8 (Sequoia), 14.8.8 (Sonoma), and 26.6 (Tahoe). This class of memory corruption typically occurs when handling specially crafted input during locked-device interactions.

Priority Score
Attack Technique
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.
