In addition to releasing macOS 27.2 Golden Gate public beta 2, Apple is now rolling out the first Release Candidates of macOS Sequoia 15.8.2 and macOS Tahoe 26.7.2. Here are the details.
As is usually the case for point updates of older macOS versions, Apple today rolled out the first release candidates of macOS Sequoia 15.8.2 and macOS Tahoe 26.7.2, without first releasing regular beta versions.
Apple released macOS Sequoia 15.8.1 and macOS Tahoe 26.7.1 late last month, both of which saw two RCs before the official rollout.
Apple’s release notes for the first macOS Sequoia 15.8.2 and macOS Tahoe 26.7.2 RCs mention only that they “provide[s] important security fixes and [are] recommended for all users.” Last month’s updates contained a single CoreGraphics security fix, with its details reading:
Processing a maliciously crafted file may lead to arbitrary code execution. Apple is aware of a report that this issue may have been exploited in an extremely sophisticated attack against specific targeted individuals on versions of iOS before iOS 27.
Apple will likely detail the fixes included in macOS Sequoia 15.8.2 and macOS Tahoe 26.7.2 after their official release, which will likely come alongside macOS 27.2 Golden Gate within the next few weeks.
The release build for macOS Sequoia 15.8.2 RC 1 is 24H219, while the release build for macOS Tahoe 26.7.2 RC 1 is 25G320.
