Network-filter bypass via inconsistent Kernel UI state
Published Jul 27, 2026 · Updated Jul 27, 2026
Kernel state-management inconsistency in Apple operating systems allows remote attackers to bypass network filters after user interaction. Apple has not disclosed which Kernel user-interface state transition becomes inconsistent or how attacker-controlled input reaches it. Exploitation is remote and unauthenticated but requires user interaction; the bounded consequence is filter bypass with no reported confidentiality or availability impact.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
