TREE NEWS update: SlowMist said iOS 27.2.1 still contains a sandbox flaw, dubbed the worse_query escape, that could expose wallet data stored in plaintext on affected devices. Trust Wallet and Zerion stated that their iOS users are not affected by the issue. The researcher’s warning concerns the unpatched condition of the flaw in the current iOS release.
SlowMist Warns iOS 27.2.1 Leaves Wallet Data Flaw Unpatched
The significance here is less the flaw itself than the split response it exposes: a security researcher flagging an unpatched sandbox escape while two named wallet providers say their iOS users are unaffected. That gap between a general platform-level warning and vendor-specific all-clears is what shapes user confidence, since the exposure hinges on how each app stores data rather than on iOS alone. The open question is whether other wallet providers confirm their status, and whether the flaw remains unaddressed in subsequent iOS releases.
