# Apple platforms: authorization flaw lets an app read sensitive user data

An authorization check in Apple's operating systems was weak, and the fix uses improved state management. A malicious or compromised app may be able to access sensitive user data.

_Summary, check and fix written by a model from the sources; labelled as such._

## How to check

- Check the device OS version in Settings > General > About (unknown for managed fleets without a source command)
- Compare against the fixed builds: `iOS 26.7.2`, `iPadOS 26.7.2`, `iOS 27.2`, `iPadOS 27.2`, `macOS Sequoia 15.8.2`, `macOS Tahoe 26.7.2`, `macOS Golden Gate 27.2`, `tvOS 27.2`, `visionOS 27.2`, `watchOS 27.2`

## Fix

- Update iOS and iPadOS to `26.7.2` or `27.2`
- Update macOS Sequoia to `15.8.2`, macOS Tahoe to `26.7.2`, or macOS Golden Gate to `27.2`
- Update tvOS, visionOS and watchOS to `27.2`
