Pembaruan ini menangani serangan web dari DarkSword, sebuah perangkat peretasan baru. Sebagaimana dinyatakan Apple dalam catatan kerentanannya, 'Kami mengaktifkan ketersediaan iOS 18.7.7 untuk lebih banyak perangkat pada 1 April 2026, sehingga pengguna dengan Pembaruan Otomatis yang diaktifkan dapat secara otomatis menerima perlindungan keamanan penting dari serangan web yang disebut DarkSword.' Perusahaan tetap mendesak pengguna untuk memperbarui ke iOS 26 demi pertahanan terkuat, dengan catatan, 'Jika memungkinkan, perbarui ke versi terbaru iOS 26, yang berisi perlindungan keamanan terkuat.'
