Apple Patches iOS Flaw That Could Let Attackers Run Malicious Code on iPhones

  • —iOS 26.7.1 and iPadOS 26.7.1 were released on September 28
  • —The flaw is an out-of-bounds write in CoreGraphics triggered by a crafted file
  • —Apple said it may have been exploited in targeted attacks on iOS versions before iOS 27
  • —SlowMist urged users to update devices and avoid suspicious links, files and app prompts
Why it matters: The flaw affects iPhone 11 and newer models, and SlowMist links it to attacks targeting crypto users, making the update critical for protecting keys.
