Apple has today released macOS Tahoe 26.6.1, bringing a fix for a vulnerability that allowed an attacker on the network to authenticate to Screen Sharing without valid credentials.

As macOS Tahoe 26.6.1 was not distributed to external testers prior to its release, we do not have any information on whether it contains any accessibility fixes for blind, deaf blind, or low vision users at the time of writing. However, as this update appears to have been released to address a small number of specific issues, we do not expect it to contain any such fixes.
