Kernel memory disclosure in Apple Kernel logging
CVE-2026-28868 is an Apple Kernel information disclosure vulnerability caused by insufficient redaction of sensitive data in logging. Apple states that the issue was a logging problem addressed with improved data redaction, and that exploitation could allow an app to disclose kernel memory. The flaw affects multiple Apple platforms, including iOS 18.7.7 and iPadOS 18.7.7, iOS 26.4 and iPadOS 26.4, macOS Sequoia 15.7.5, macOS Sonoma 14.8.5, macOS Tahoe 26.4, visionOS 26.4, and watchOS 26.4. Available context indicates this issue leaks kernel memory rather than directly enabling memory corruption or code execution.
