Apple has updated its security release page with details of the vulnerabilities addressed in recent updates to iOS, iPadOS, macOS, watchOS, tvOS, visionOS, and Safari. Here are the details.
Apple details security releases from today’s updates
When Apple releases software updates, the company also usually updates its security release page with details of the vulnerabilities addressed.
Today, the company updated the security content page for the following system updates:
| Name and information link | Available for |

| iOS 27.2 and iPadOS 27.2 | iPhone 11 and later, iPad Pro 12.9-inch 4th generation and later, iPad Pro 11-inch 2nd generation and later, iPad Air 4th generation and later, iPad 9th generation and later, and iPad mini 6th generation and later |
| iOS 26.7.2 and iPadOS 26.7.2 | iPhone 11 and later, iPad Pro 12.9-inch 3rd generation and later, iPad Pro 11-inch 1st generation and later, iPad Air 3rd generation and later, iPad 8th generation and later, and iPad mini 5th generation and later |

| Safari 27.2 | macOS Sequoia and macOS Tahoe |
| tvOS 26.6.1 This update has no published CVE entries. | Apple TV HD and Apple TV 4K 1st generation |
In total, Apple has addressed 329 unique security vulnerabilities across today’s software releases. Many of these vulnerabilities affect multiple operating systems, resulting in a combined total of 1,265 CVE listings.
These numbers may still increase, as Apple regularly adds new entries and updates the existing ones in its security advisories after their initial release.
Among the most notable security fixes are a CoreMedia issue that could allow a malicious app to access the camera on an iPhone, iPad, Mac or Apple Vision Pro without permission (CVE-2026-86990) and an Apple Intelligence vulnerability that could allow a remote attacker to access sensitive user data on supported iPhones and iPads (CVE-2087-86987-86987-8626).
Apple also addressed a Siri vulnerability in macOS Tahoe that lets an app access sensitive user data (CVE-2026-43736), along with multiple WebKit flaws that allow maliciously crafted web content to execute arbitrary code.
Specifically, when it comes to WebKit, Apple has been on a security patching spree in recent months, driven in part by the growing use of AI tools to detect vulnerabilities. (In today’s updates alone, Apple credited AI tools and research teams for several vulnerabilities in its software.)
Earlier this year, the company also released several updates to fix bugs exploited by Coruna and DarkSword on older devices. Both exploit kits used WebKit vulnerabilities as part of attack chains that compromised iPhones running older versions of iOS.
And speaking of older versions of iOS, today’s updates also bring a previously released CoreGraphics fix to devices still running iOS 18 and iPadOS 18. The vulnerability could allow a maliciously crafted file to trigger arbitrary code execution (CVE-2026-86950).
Apple first addressed the issue in updates released last month, warning that it was being exploited in an extremely sophisticated attack against specifically targeted individuals running versions of iOS prior to iOS 27.
