Binance warns of iOS vulnerability allowing access to app files
The cryptocurrency exchange added that this is an inherent iOS issue, affecting the entire ecosystem rather than just Binance
MOSCOW, November 10. /TASS/. Binance has issued a warning regarding a vulnerability in iOS versions 26.7.1, 27.0.1, and 27.2 that enables malicious software to gain access to files of other applications, the cryptocurrency exchange said in a statement.
"A vulnerability (worse_query) affecting iOS 26.7.1, 27.0.1, and 27.2 allows malicious apps to read local files from other apps, putting seed phrases, private keys, and login credentials at risk across the entire ecosystem," the statement reads.
The exchange added that this is an inherent iOS issue, affecting the entire ecosystem rather than just Binance.
Binance recommends deleting any applications installed from outside the official App Store and updating both the iOS operating system and all apps to their latest official versions. Furthermore, the crypto exchange suggests creating a new wallet on a clean device, transferring funds there, and terminating all active sessions.
"Do not install applications from unverified sources, and ensure your device is updated promptly. The security of your funds begins with the security of your phone," Binance emphasized.
