Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires the ability to execute a local app on the vulnerable device - a malicious or trojanized app, a sideloaded/enterprise-signed binary, or code execution already obtained through another bug - against iOS/iPadOS below 26.7 or macOS below Sequoia 15.8 / Golden Gate 27. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H) describes a local, low-privilege, no-user-interaction bug with high impact across confidentiality, integrity and availability - a realistic profile for a kernel use-after-free reachable from a sandboxed app. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in. |
| Remediation | Vendor-released patch: upgrade to iOS 26.7 / iPadOS 26.7, macOS Golden Gate 27, or macOS Sequoia 15.8 as appropriate - these are the fixed versions named by Apple, and the corresponding advisories are https://support.apple.com/en-us/149035, https://support.apple.com/en-us/149041 and https://support.apple.com/en-us/149043. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
