Apple has deployed urgent security updates across its ecosystem to address a critical zero-day vulnerability actively exploited in targeted cyberattacks. The flaw, designated CVE-2026-20700, affects iOS, iPadOS, macOS Tahoe, tvOS, watchOS, and visionOS, potentially enabling malicious code execution through memory corruption in Apple's dyld linker.
Google's Threat Analysis Group confirmed the vulnerability's exploitation in sophisticated attacks against pre-iOS 26 devices. This marks the third such fix since December, when related flaws CVE-2025-14174 and CVE-2025-43529 were patched. The recurrent nature of these vulnerabilities underscores growing challenges in securing complex software ecosystems against determined adversaries.
