CVE-2026-86895: Apple CloudKit information disclosure in persistent account identifiers

CVE-2026-86895 · Severity: high · CVSS 7.5 · Published 2026-09-14

CloudKit is Apple's cloud database and synchronization service used by many iOS and tvOS apps to store and sync user data. A flaw in CloudKit's state management allows a local app to read persistent account identifiers without proper authorization, potentially exposing sensitive user identity information. This could enable app developers or malicious apps to track users across services or link their identities in unexpected ways.
