Apple's iOS 27.2.1 Update Leaves Unpatched 'worse_query' Flaw Exposing App Files

Apple's iOS 27.2.1 security update reportedly did not fix the worse_query vulnerability, which could let malicious apps access files belonging to other apps. The researcher who found the flaw confirmed it remains unpatched in the latest stable release and the first iOS 27.3 beta. Binance warned that the flaw could expose wallet recovery phrases, private keys, and login credentials stored on affected devices.

Why it matters: IT teams managing iOS fleets should check whether the flaw affects their devices and set mitigation or app-access policies until Apple ships a fix.
