What macOS Sequoia 15.7.4 Fixes

macOS Sequoia 15.7.4, released February 11, 2026, fixes 51 vulnerabilities in 33 parts of the system, according to Apple's security advisory.

Apple does not say that any of them were exploited before the fix. That makes macOS Sequoia 15.7.4 a routine security update: worth installing soon, not an emergency.

It has since been superseded: the newest security release for macOS Sequoia is macOS Sequoia 15.8.2, from October 26, 2026, which includes these fixes.

Apple lists macOS Sequoia 15.7.4 for: macOS Sequoia.

How to Install macOS Sequoia 15.7.4

Security fixes are cumulative: any later release for the same version includes these as well, so if you are already past macOS Sequoia 15.7.4 there is nothing to do.
