Today, Apple released macOS Tahoe 26.6.1 to the public. The update is available through Software Update in System Settings for all compatible Macs.

UPDATE 8/10/26: New information has been released about how the CVE-2026-65400 security vulnerability works. Still waiting, they just said that a full writeup will not be released until more people have a chance to update.

calif_io reverse engineered the macOS Tahoe 26.6.1 patch to understand the root cause and exploitation path.

"If Screen Sharing is enabled, any network attacker can exploit the bug to log in as any account, without knowing the password."

THIS is why Apple released an update so fast (9 days) after the Tahoe 26.6 update. More info when the technical writeup drops tomorrow.

Screen Sharing

Available for: macOS Tahoe

Impact: An attacker on the network may be able to authenticate to Screen Sharing without valid credentials.

Description: An authentication issue was addressed with improved state management.
