WebContent sandbox escape on Apple platforms
A flaw in Apple's WebContent handling lets a remote attacker escape the WebContent sandbox. It is triggered by processing attacker-controlled web content; Apple says the fix is improved input validation. Successful escape breaks the browser process sandbox on affected iPhone, iPad, Mac, and visionOS devices.
What to do: Update to iOS/iPadOS 26.7.2 or 27.2, macOS Sequoia 15.8.2, macOS Tahoe 26.7.2, macOS Golden Gate 27.2, or visionOS 27.2.
