iOS 27.2 Addresses Over 160 Security Vulnerabilities

iOS 27.2 Addresses Over 160 Security Vulnerabilities

Apple has released iOS 27.2 and iPadOS 27.2, which include patches for over 160 security vulnerabilities.

Key Security Fixes:

  • Apple Intelligence: Patched a remote code execution vulnerability that allowed unauthorized access to sensitive user data.
  • WebKit: Over 30 vulnerabilities addressed, mitigating potential cross-site scripting and arbitrary code execution risks.
  • Kernel: Approximately 15 kernel-level bugs resolved.
  • Hide My Email: Fixed a bug that could lead to the exposure of primary email addresses.

Researchers from the jailbreak community, including those credited with the iPhone Duo exploit, are noted in the CVE disclosures. Developers are encouraged to test their applications against these latest security patches, as many of these vulnerabilities were identified through automated AI-driven analysis.

For devices not yet on the iOS 27 branch, Apple has released iOS 26.7.2 containing many of the same security improvements.
