Apple Pushes First Background Security Improvements Update to Fix WebKit Flaw
Apple has rolled out its first Background Security Improvements update to address WebKit vulnerability CVE‑2026‑20643 across iPhone, iPad, and Mac devices. The flaw allowed malicious web content to bypass the Same Origin Policy via the Navigation API, and was patched through iOS 26.3.1, iPadOS 26.3.1, macOS 26.3.1 and 26.3.2 without a full OS upgrade. This marks the inaugural use of Apple’s new out‑of‑band patching mechanism, which delivers lightweight security fixes in the background. Users can manage the feature in Settings → Privacy & Security, but removing it reverts devices to the baseline OS version.
