Kernel-state disclosure via insufficient IOSurfaceAccelerator validation
Published Aug 17, 2026 · Updated Aug 18, 2026
Information leakage in IOSurfaceAccelerator in Apple iOS and iPadOS before 18.7.10 allows local users to leak sensitive kernel state. Apple identifies insufficient validation but has not disclosed the affected operation or the untrusted input that reaches it. A locally installed app with low privileges is required; the reported consequence is limited to kernel-state confidentiality, with no integrity or availability effect.

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.
