Arbitrary code execution via ImageIO integer overflow
Published Aug 17, 2026 · Updated Aug 19, 2026
Integer overflow in ImageIO in iOS and iPadOS before 26.6.1 and macOS Tahoe before 26.6.2 allows attackers to execute code via an image. ImageIO insufficiently validates image input before an integer operation, allowing the arithmetic result to overflow. Triggering requires the target to process an attacker-supplied image, after which code executes with the affected process's privileges.

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.
