Trust Wallet Says Its iPhone Users Are Unaffected by iOS Flaw

Trust Wallet said Nov. 11 that its iPhone users are unaffected by the “worse_query” iOS flaw Binance flagged, citing device encryption and its practice of not storing recovery phrases or private keys in plaintext.

Binance’s Nov. 10 warning named iOS 26.7.1, 27.0.1 and 27.2. The exchange said malicious apps could read files held by other apps, potentially reaching seed phrases, private keys or login credentials.

Binance advised users to remove apps from untrusted sources and install official iOS and app updates. For users who suspect compromise, it recommended creating a new wallet on a clean device, moving funds and resetting active login sessions.

The sandbox escape can expose app containers on iOS 26.0 through 26.7.2 and iOS 27.2 when an App Group container is present.

The bug is a sandbox escape, a flaw that can let one app reach files in another app’s container. Whether wallet secrets are exposed depends on what each app stores locally and how it protects that information.
