Binance Warns of Apple iOS Flaw That Could Expose iPhone Users' Private Keys
Binance warned that the iOS vulnerability known as “worse_query” may let malicious apps access files belonging to other apps, potentially exposing crypto wallet seed phrases, private keys and login credentials. It affects several iOS versions and is described by its developer as a sandbox-escape proof of concept; no crypto theft linked to it has been confirmed. Binance advised removing untrusted apps, installing official updates and, if compromise is suspected, moving funds to a wallet created on a clean device and resetting login sessions. Apple released iOS 27.2.1 with security fixes, but its notes do not identify worse_query, and Apple has not confirmed whether it is fixed. A SlowMist security executive said the update blocks the exploit.
