The vulnerability

Apple macOS, iOS, iPadOS, and Safari 16.6 contain a use-after-free vulnerability due to the processing of maliciously crafted web content that may lead to memory corruption.

Required action

Apply mitigations per vendor instructions, follow applicable BOD 22-01 guidance for cloud services, or discontinue use of the product if mitigations are unavailable.

US federal civilian agencies were required to act by 26 March 2026 under BOD 22-01. The deadline is a compliance date, not a measure of severity — it says nothing about how dangerous the flaw is to anyone else.
