A recently leaked exploit chain dubbed "DarkSword" combines six Apple vulnerabilities (across ANGLE, JavaScriptCore, the kernel, and dyld PAC bypass) to enable remote code execution and backdoor installation on iOS, iPadOS, macOS, tvOS, watchOS, and visionOS; it has been used by commercial surveillance vendors and suspected state-sponsored actors, patches were released (18.7.3/26.3 and related updates) and mitigations include updating devices or enabling Lockdown mode.
