Sensitive user data access via authorization failure
Published Sep 14, 2026 · Updated Sep 14, 2026
Authorization failure in Apple Account in Apple iOS, iPadOS and macOS before 26.6 allows local users to access sensitive user data via an app. Apple states only that improved state management corrected the authorization issue and has not disclosed the affected state transition or access-control check. Exploitation requires an app to run on the device; the published consequence is limited to unauthorized access to sensitive user data.
