A race condition was detected in multiple Apple operating systems that could allow an application to trigger an unexpected system termination. The flaw is related to how system state is handled during concurrent operations, and the description states that an app may be able to cause this behavior. No information in the description indicates any compromise of confidentiality or integrity; the impact is limited to loss of availability for the affected device.

Apple operating systems are affected, including iOS 26.7, iOS 27, iPadOS 26.7, iPadOS 27, macOS Golden Gate 27, macOS Sequoia 15.8, macOS Tahoe 26.7, tvOS 27, visionOS 27, and watchOS 27. Devices running any of these versions may be vulnerable.

The EPSS score is not available and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, indicating no publicly known exploits at the time of this analysis. The likely attack vector is a malicious or poorly written application that launches concurrent operations to trigger the race condition. Because the flaw can cause a system crash, its impact is reflected in potential loss of service. The exact likelihood of exploitation cannot be quantified, but the absence of known exploits and the possibility of a client‑side trigger suggest a moderate to high risk depending on exposure to third‑party apps.
