Apple Patches for October 2026
Apple released patches for 304 vulnerabilities across iOS, macOS, tvOS, watchOS, visionOS, and Safari on October 26, 2026. The update includes CVE-2026-86950, a CoreGraphics vulnerability already exploited in targeted attacks that now receives iOS 18 patches, along with numerous issues affecting kernel memory, sandboxing, file system access, and media processing. Notable exposures include camera access without permission (CVE-2026-86990), Keychain access (CVE-2026-28864), and multiple root privilege escalation paths across storage and security components.
Why it matters: All Apple device users should apply these patches immediately, as the bundle contains a confirmed actively exploited vulnerability and dozens of critical issues enabling sandbox escape, root privilege gain, and sensitive data access.
