Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Sep 15, 2026
A local privilege-escalation flaw in Apple's operating system family lets a malicious app already running on the device obtain root privileges by exploiting a missing authorization check. Apple addressed the issue with 'additional restrictions' in iOS 26.7 and iPadOS 26.7, iOS 27 and iPadOS 27, macOS Golden Gate 27, and visionOS 27, and the CVSS 3.1 score is 7.8 (AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H). Exploitation is not confirmed: the issue is not in CISA KEV, no public exploit code is identified, and CISA's SSVC assessment lists exploitation as 'none' and automatable as 'no', though technical impact is rated 'total' once root is achieved.
