WORLDTECHSlowMist Says iOS 27.2.1 Leaves worse_query Wallet Flaw Unpatched
According to The Defiant, Apple's iOS 27.2.1 security update reportedly did not patch the worse_query vulnerability, which could expose cryptocurrency wallet credentials. The update reportedly fixed nine other security flaws.
What SlowMist warned
SlowMist has cautioned that the worse_query escape could expose wallet data stored in plaintext. The security firm's warning, as reported, points to a weakness that remains open in the iOS 27.2.1 release even though that release addressed nine other security flaws.
Apple is the software and consumer electronics company in question, based in Cupertino and founded in 1976.
Wallet providers say they are safe
Trust Wallet and Zerion said their iOS users are not affected, according to the same report.
It is not clear from the available information how many users could be affected, or whether any other wallet applications share the risk.
Open questions
- Has Apple confirmed whether worse_query remains unpatched in iOS 27.2.1?
- Which wallet applications beyond Trust Wallet and Zerion could be exposed?
