Apple has urged iPhone and iPad users to urgently install the latest updates to protect themselves from a serious threat.

Apple has released updates for iOS, iPadOS, and other products to address two vulnerabilities in WebKit, the foundation of Safari and all web browsers on the iOS platform. Researchers from Apple's threat intelligence team and Google reported the discovery of these security flaws.

According to information published by the company, the vulnerabilities could allow malicious web content to execute arbitrary code on a user's device. This means an attacker could potentially gain unauthorized access to the device. The issues were classified as zero-day vulnerabilities.

Updates containing fixes are now available. For the main product line, these are iOS 26.2 and iPadOS 26.2. For older models supporting the previous OS generation, iOS 18.7.3 and iPadOS 18.7.3 patches have been released. macOS, tvOS, watchOS, visionOS, and the Safari browser have also been updated.

Affected models include the iPhone 11 and later, iPad Pro, iPad Air, iPad, and iPad mini. Apple is not disclosing details of the security issues until the investigation is complete and patches are released. Information security experts, commenting on such situations, traditionally recommend that users promptly install software updates, exercise caution when clicking links from untrusted sources, and implement comprehensive security measures for their devices.
