CVE-2026-84487

Integer Overflow Exploit in Apple Operating Systems Leads to Memory Disclosure

Published Sep 14, 2026 CVSS 3.1 · 6.5 Medium EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed

Description

An integer overflow was addressed with improved input validation. This issue is fixed in iOS 26.7 and iPadOS 26.7, iOS 27 and iPadOS 27, macOS Golden Gate 27, macOS Sequoia 15.8, macOS Tahoe 26.7, tvOS 27, visionOS 27, watchOS 27. Processing a maliciously crafted file may result in disclosure of process memory.

Analysis

Technical impact

An integer overflow flaw was discovered in several Apple operating systems. When a maliciously crafted file is processed, the system allocates memory incorrectly, potentially exposing the contents of process memory. This weakness is a classic integer overflow (CWE‑190) that leads to a data disclosure vulnerability.

Affected Systems

The vulnerability affects devices running 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. Earlier versions of these operating systems remain vulnerable until patched.

Risk and Exploitability

The vulnerability can lead to disclosure of process memory, but the CVSS score is 6.5, indicating a moderate impact. The EPSS score is below 1%, implying a very low likelihood of exploitation. The vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Exploitation requires a maliciously crafted file, so the attack vector is likely local or remote file upload, depending on context. Devices that frequently accept untrusted files, such as macOS systems with Gatekeeper disabled, present the highest risk.

Affected Products

Default status is the baseline for the product, each version can override it (e.g. patched versions marked unaffected).

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

Update the operating system to the latest available patched release: iOS 26.7 or newer, iPadOS 26.7 or newer, macOS Sequoia 15.8, macOS Tahoe 26.7, tvOS 27, visionOS 27, or watchOS 27.
On macOS enforce Gatekeeper and require code signing to restrict execution of untrusted binaries.
If an update cannot be applied immediately, avoid opening or executing files from untrusted or unknown origins until the patch is applied.
