iOS 26.2—Update Now Warning Issued To All iPhone Users
The update patches over 20 flaws, including two WebKit vulnerabilities actively exploited, with authorities warning users in 150 countries to update immediately.
- On December 12, Apple released iOS 26.2, fixing over 20 flaws after warnings that users in some 150 countries were targeted, including two used in real‑world attacks.
- Attackers exploited WebKit zero-day flaws, prompting Apple to issue an emergency update after reports of active use of CVE-2025-43529 and CVE-2025-14174 discovered by Google's Threat Analysis Group and Apple.
- Affected devices include iPhone 11 and later, and Apple fixed nine WebKit bugs that could allow attackers to view hidden photos, steal payment tokens, or access password fields.
- Security experts urged rapid installation of iOS 26.2, with the Singapore Cyber Emergency Response Team urging users to update and SingCert's Dec 14 advisory noting possible targeted exploitation but no reports to CSA.
- Experts warn the longer users delay updates, the greater the risk of compromise as attackers gain a roadmap, so regularly updating operating systems and apps remains a key protection.
