CVE-2026-86950 is an out-of-bounds write vulnerability in Apple CoreGraphics. Processing a maliciously crafted file can trigger the flaw and may lead to arbitrary code execution. Apple addressed the issue by improving bounds checking in iOS 26.7.1, iPadOS 26.7.1, macOS Sequoia 15.8.1, and macOS Tahoe 26.7.1. Apple reported possible exploitation in an extremely sophisticated attack targeting specific individuals using iOS versions before iOS 27.
