Apple has patched over 30 vulnerabilities in its iOS, macOS, and Safari platforms, including four critical WebKit flaws discovered using AI tools like Anthropic Claude and OpenAI Codex Security.1345

The vulnerabilities include CVE-2026-43707, a memory corruption issue that could lead to unexpected crashes when processing malicious web content, which was addressed with improved memory handling.2

Apple has credited the first three security defects to OpenAI Codex Security, while the fourth, CVE-2026-43715, was acknowledged to researchers Milad Nasr and Nicholas Carlini from Anthropic.

In a statement to Reuters, Apple emphasized the urgency of these updates, stating, "it was adapting to the reality that, given the ability of artificial intelligence to speed the development of malicious hacking tools, it needed to reduce the time between when updates were first made public and when they were put into customers' hands." This proactive approach aims to mitigate the risks posed by AI-enabled cyber threats, which can shrink the window between vulnerability discovery and exploitation to mere hours.
