GoKawiilApple today updated the security content pages for several macOS, iOS, iPadOS, visionOS, and watchOS releases, adding new CVE details for vulnerabilities addressed in each update. Here are the details.
New details for older and recent software releases
Last September, Apple released macOS 14.8 Sonoma, iOS 18.7, and iPadOS 18.7, with important security updates addressing vulnerabilities that, among other things, could let an attacker access protected or sensitive user data.
Since then, Apple updated macOS Sonoma another six times, with the system currently sitting at version 14.8.7 (the company skipped 14.8.6). Likewise, iPhone and iPad users who have not moved to newer major releases have similarly continued to receive updates, with iOS 18 and iPadOS 18 now at version 18.7.9.
For Apple Watch and Apple Vision Pro users, Apple also released watchOS 26 and visionOS 26 last year, introducing multiple new features, in addition to including important security fixes.
That said, Apple today updated the security content page for these system versions (and then some), adding more details on the fixes included and their corresponding CVEs.
Here are the security fixes added today on iOS 26 and iPadOS 26’s security content page:
