Apple's iOS 26.7 and iPadOS 26.7 release fixes a CoreMotion flaw that lets an app read motion data from headphones without the user's consent. An installed app can collect that sensor data without asking the person first.
Summary written from the sources below. Check the originals before acting.
First seen by InfraStack 2026-10-31 00:35 UTC, 0h before NVD. All times on this page are UTC.
Devices running iOS or iPadOS releases before 26.7 are exposed to any installed app that can use motion sensors through headphones. The sources do not describe other conditions, so a device on the affected versions should be treated as in scope.
