CVE-2026-65349 is an out-of-bounds read in the Apple kernel. Insufficient input validation permits an application to access memory outside an intended buffer. Apple addressed the issue through improved input validation in iOS 26.6.1, iPadOS 26.6.1, macOS Sequoia 15.8, macOS Tahoe 26.6.2, tvOS 27, visionOS 27, and watchOS 27.

This three-file repository contains an MIT license, a README describing CVE-2026-65349, and one standalone C proof of concept at poc/poc_getattrlist_oob.c. The C program avoids libc and directly issues Darwin/XNU arm64 syscalls, including open, close, write, exit, and getattrlist (syscall 220). It creates /var/root/aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa, configures an attrlist with broad common/file/fork attribute masks, and calls getattrlist using 64-byte, 0x198-byte, and 0x1a4-byte stack buffers. The stated purpose is to trigger or demonstrate an alleged out-of-bounds write in XNU vfs_attr_pack_internal at offset 0x198 while packing attribute slot 51. The repository is a local trigger/validation PoC only: it has no network activity, remote endpoint, exploit framework integration, shellcode, persistence, credential theft, or privilege-escalation payload. README claims that practical kernel exploitation on iOS 26 would require a separate kernel write primitive and controlled kernel-context invocation; neither capability is implemented here.
