AI-Powered Exploit Unveils macOS Kernel Privilege Escalation on Apple M5 in Five Days

Researchers demonstrated the first public macOS kernel memory-corruption exploit on Apple’s M5, achieving a local root shell on macOS 26.4.1 with Memory Integrity Enforcement active. The chain starts from an unprivileged user, uses only standard system calls, and targets two known-bug classes on bare-metal M5 hardware; the bugs were found April 25 and the exploit was ready by May 1. Anthropic’s Mythos Preview aided vulnerability identification and exploit development. Apple is expected to patch; this AI-assisted attack highlights how hardware mitigations like MIE increase exploitation costs but do not fully prevent kernel exploits, with memory corruption remaining the dominant attack class across platforms.

"Apple Vision Pro Security Concerns Addressed with Latest Patch Release"

A security researcher claims to have created a kernel exploit for the newly released Apple Vision Pro, potentially opening the door to jailbreak and malware creation. The exploit causes the headset to go into a full passthrough view and then prompts a restart, with subsequent images showing a panic log for the headset. It is unclear if the researcher has submitted the findings to Apple, but given the high-profile nature of the launch, it is likely that Apple will issue an update to fix the problem if it is disclosed.
