Apple’s latest updates patch an unprecedented number of security vulnerabilities while optimizing the Spotlight index in preparation for OS 27 and fixing bugs affecting Messages screenshots, Intel-based app notifications, and HealthKit data. None of the vulnerabilities is being exploited in the wild.
