Summary
Apple's October 2026 security update patches a long list of vulnerabilities across macOS components, including Spotlight, Model I/O, SceneKit, AppleAVD, Kernel, and Screen Sharing. Many flaws allow local apps to gain root privileges, bypass Gatekeeper or sandbox protections, or corrupt memory, while others enable remote denial-of-service or code execution.
