Apple's security releases page has been updated with additional information regarding the security issues resolved in iOS 18, iOS 26, and other OS versions.
The company added new details about the vulnerabilities patched in iOS 26, iPadOS 26, visionOS 26, and watchOS 26. Also updated was the security information concerning iOS 18.7, iPadOS 18.7, macOS 14.8, and macOS 14.8.2.
On Tuesday, Apple added a Siri vulnerability to the list of issues resolved with iOS 26. The now-patched security issue allowed access to Private Tabs without proper authentication, and it was fixed by improving state management.
The security page detailing iOS 18.7 and iPadOS 18.7 security fixes now says that Apple patched a call history issue that let apps fingerprint the user. Improved redactions of sensitive information were used to address this vulnerability.
Multiple macOS 14.8 fixes were added by Apple as well, including those that resolved two CoreServices and FaceTime issues, a Phone vulnerability, and a StorageKit security issue.
One now-resolved CoreServices issue let apps modify protected parts of macOS. It was resolved with additional restrictions. Another CoreServices logic vulnerability that allowed apps to access sensitive user data was addressed through improved validation.
Apple also patched a FaceTime issue that made incoming calls appear on a locked Mac with notifications disabled. Through improved data redaction, the company also fixed a Phone issue that gave apps access to sensitive user data.
The most serious issue patched with macOS 14.8 was a StorageKit vulnerability that let apps gain root privileges. Apple fixed it through improved checks. macOS 14.8.2 security details were updated with an entry detailing a vulnerability in SQLite, an issue resolved by a third party.
Overall, the updates to Apple's security releases page won't be of much use to the average user running newer OS versions. The company added information regarding older iOS and macOS releases, and not the latest iOS 26.5, iOS 18.7.9, or macOS 14.8.7.
