The Vulnerability Explained
The flaw carries the name “worse_query.” It affects iOS versions 26.7.1, 27.0.1, and 27.2. Binance confirmed the vulnerability allows malicious apps to read local files stored by other apps on the same device. That means seed phrases, private keys, and login credentials are all potentially exposed.
Binance stated: “This is an iOS-level issue, not unique to Binance.” The risk extends across the entire mobile crypto ecosystem. The exploit is a sandbox escape technique. It breaks the security boundary that iOS places around each app.
A bad actor running a malicious app can use it to read sensitive data from crypto wallets sitting on the same phone. No jailbreak is required. Apps sideloaded from outside the App Store are the primary delivery vehicle for the attack.
XRP Holders Take Note
Digital Asset Investor directed his message specifically at the XRP community. He told viewers to update their iOS software immediately. He warned them to not take any chances with this vulnerability. An unpatched device is a live risk.
The attack does not discriminate by token. Any crypto stored in a mobile wallet on an affected iOS version faces the same exposure. Apple released iOS 27.2.1 and iOS 26.7.3 on November 9, 2026. Security researchers believe these updates address the vulnerability. Users running older versions remain at risk until they update.
Binance Under Pressure
The timing of this warning comes as Binance continues to manage reputational fallout from a separate major incident. In October, $6.3 billion worth of digital currency was stolen from Binance, allegedly by the North Korea-linked hacking group TraderTraitor.
That dwarfs the previous record of approximately $1.5 billion stolen from the exchange Bybit in February 2025. Binance set aside $6 billion to cover all losses and stated that user funds were completely safe. The iOS vulnerability warning two weeks later arrives with that breach still fresh in the industry’s memory.
What to Do Now
Binance laid out three steps in its post. Delete any sideloaded or manually signed apps from untrusted sources. Update iOS and all apps to the latest official versions. If a breach is suspected, move funds to a new wallet created on a clean device and reset all active login sessions.
