CVE-2026-28941 is an out-of-bounds read vulnerability in Apple’s Model I/O component, specifically within the USD library used when processing crafted files. The flaw is caused by insufficient validation of user-supplied data, allowing the parser to read past the end of an allocated buffer. On affected Apple platforms, including macOS and mobile operating systems prior to the listed fixes, processing a maliciously crafted file can trigger the condition. Apple addressed the issue with improved checks.
