Binance warns iPhone users of worse_query vulnerability risking seed phrases

Binance issued a warning to iPhone users on Tuesday about a security vulnerability known as “worse_query,” which allows malicious applications to access local files belonging to other apps. The exchange stated that the flaw could put seed phrases, private keys, and login credentials at risk across a wide range of apps within the iOS ecosystem. According to Binance, the affected iOS versions include 26.7.1, 27.0.1, and 27.2. The exchange emphasized that the issue originates from iOS itself rather than any Binance-specific application. Binance co-founder Yi He reposted the alert shortly after its initial release, reiterating the instructions and precautions for users. The exchange highlighted that this is not an isolated incident impacting only Binance users.
