Apple iOS 27.2 Released With Fixes for 163 Vulnerabilities, Including Fix for Critical WebKit RCE

What happened?

Apple released iOS 27.2 and iPadOS 27.2 on October 26, 2026, with fixes for 163 security flaws. The update covers iPhone 11 and later and a wide set of iPad models. The most serious issues sit in WebKit, the engine behind Safari and most in-app browsers on Apple devices. Apple says malicious web content could run code on a device. That is a remote code execution risk, and it is the reason this update should not wait. Apple published the full list in its security content document for iOS 27.2 and iPadOS 27.2. The company does not report active use of these flaws in real attacks.
