CVE-2026-113963 · Severity: medium · CVSS 5.5 · Published 2026-11-09

Apple's App Intents framework on iOS, iPadOS, visionOS, and watchOS allows apps to perform tasks on behalf of users. A flaw in state management could allow an app to access sensitive user data without proper authorization. This could lead to privacy breaches where installed apps gain unauthorized access to personal information.
