What to check
- Applies to
- The 9 CVEs named below. Whether you run an affected version is not assessed: check the versions the source lists.
- Exploitation
- CISA lists CVE-2026-111497 as exploited in the wild.
CERT-FR issued an advisory describing multiple vulnerabilities in Apple HomeView Software affecting versions prior to 27.2. The flaws collectively allow an attacker to achieve remote arbitrary code execution, compromise data confidentiality and integrity, and bypass security policies. Nine CVEs are referenced, tied to Apple's security bulletin 149851 published on 12 November 2026.
No detail is given on exploitation technique, attack vector, or whether any of these vulnerabilities are being exploited in the wild. The advisory does not specify severity per CVE or provide CVSS scores. CERT-FR's recommended mitigation is to apply the vendor's patches as referenced in Apple's security bulletin.
Defenders running Apple HomeView Software should prioritize upgrading to version 27.2 or later. Given the breadth of impacts (RCE, confidentiality and integrity loss, security bypass) across nine CVEs, organizations should treat this as a routine but important patch management action, consistent with a vendor-issued advisory with no confirmed active exploitation.

What this brief leaves out
This page is the free tier: the write-up, the severity, the names. In the app the same report carries live profiles of the CVEs it names. The paid plans add the security research and news reporting the free tier leaves out.
It sits in a corpus of 16,572 reports from 147 sources, 724 of them written in the last seven days, and it grows through the day.
A new account starts with three days of all of it, no card, then keeps the government and CERT reporting free. Slack alerts are a paid-plan feature: name the vendors you run and Slack hears about the reports that touch them, not the rest of the week's. Nothing is charged unless you subscribe.
