CVE-2026-28965 is a privacy vulnerability in Apple WidgetKit affecting iOS and iPadOS prior to 26.5. The flaw allows restricted content to be viewed from the lock screen due to insufficient checks governing what information remains accessible while the device is locked. Apple states the issue was addressed through improved checks. The vulnerability results in exposure of content that should remain hidden until the device is unlocked, creating a lock-screen privacy bypass condition.
