Leaked “DarkSword” exploits published to GitHub allow hackers and cybercriminals to target iPhone users running old versions of iOS with spyware, according to cybersecurity researchers.

If the new version targets more devices I’d expect them to release similar updates.
Edit: I’m not sure if that’s the relevant DarkSword CVE but it is the one for the latest security update. https://www.malwarebytes.com/blog/mobile/2026/03/a-darksword-hangs-over-unpatched-iphones claims DarkSword only affects 18.4 through 18.7 (and of course 26.0 until 26.3), and https://www.pcmag.com/news/update-your-iphone-now-new-darksword-hack-targets-older-ios-18-versions claims it was patched in 18.7.6 (whose security disclosure has not been published).
