Apple Patches Hundreds of Vulnerabilities in September 2026 Security Update

Summary

Apple's September 14, 2026 release of iOS 27, macOS Golden Gate 27, Safari 27 and its sibling updates patches over 200 CVEs, concentrated in WebKit, the kernel and drivers, and file-sharing/file-system code (SMB, WebDAV, autofs, disk images). The flaws enable universal XSS, root privilege escalation, kernel memory corruption from hostile servers or crafted volumes, Gatekeeper and sandbox bypasses, and arbitrary code execution from images and 3D models.

Take Action:

If you use any Apple devices: iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch, Apple TV or Vision Pro, update them ASAP to the latest version (iOS/iPadOS 27 or 26.7, macOS Golden Gate 27, Tahoe 26.7 or Sequoia 15.8, tvOS/watchOS/visionOS 27, and Safari 27). The September releases patch a huge number of issues. Until you've updated, be extra careful about visiting unfamiliar websites, opening files or images from strangers, and connecting to unknown file-sharing servers or Wi-Fi networks.
