Apple announced on Monday that it has released patches for dozens of vulnerabilities discovered recently in its operating systems. 

The company patched 87 vulnerabilities with the release of iOS 26.6 and iPadOS 26.6. 

The flaws can be exploited to access sensitive user data, fingerprint users, cause a DoS condition, execute arbitrary code, delete files, modify the file system, bypass security, add contacts without authorization, spoof the UI, and escalate privileges.

In macOS Tahoe 26.6, Apple fixed 155 vulnerabilities, including ones allowing access to sensitive user data, arbitrary code execution, security bypasses, and DoS attacks.

macOS Sequoia 15.7.8 includes fixes for 138 security holes, while macOS Sonoma 14.8.8 resolves 127 issues.

Many of the vulnerabilities were patched across all of these platforms.

“The one worth a second look is CVE-2026-43810, where Apple notes a remote user may be able to corrupt kernel memory, because remote changes the economics of an attack chain considerably,” commented Adam Boynton, senior enterprise strategy manager at Jamf.

Roughly 100 flaws have been patched by Apple in each of its other operating systems: watchOS, tvOS, and visionOS. 

The latest Safari update fixes nearly a dozen vulnerabilities, including ones that can be exploited to access sensitive user data or crash the browser.

The advisories do not mention in-the-wild exploitation. Additional details are available in Apple’s security advisories
