What to check
- Applies to
- The 40 CVEs named below. Whether you run an affected version is not assessed: check the versions the source lists.
- Exploitation
- No exploitation in the wild and no public exploit is recorded for the CVEs named.
ANSSI (CERT-FR) published an advisory summarizing three Apple security bulletins (148281, 148282, 148287) released on 17 August 2026, covering iOS versions prior to 18.7.10 and 26.6.1, iPadOS versions prior to 18.7.10 and 26.6.1, and macOS Tahoe versions prior to 26.6.2. The advisory lists an extensive set of CVEs—well over one hundred—affecting these platforms, with impacts ranging from arbitrary code execution and privilege escalation to remote denial of service, data integrity and confidentiality breaches, and security policy bypass.
No evidence of active exploitation, proof-of-concept code, or attacker attribution is included in the bulletin; it is a routine vendor patch advisory relayed by the French national CERT. Organizations running affected Apple products are advised to apply the vendor-supplied updates referenced in the official Apple security bulletins as soon as operationally feasible, given the breadth and severity range of the underlying flaws, several of which permit arbitrary code execution.

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 16,445 reports from 149 sources, 666 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.
