    It seems Apple has released a Background Security Improvement for Tahoe.

    System Settings -> Privacy & Security

    Scroll down almost as far as possible and you will see it. Not entirely
    sure exactly what it fixes but it updates those on macOS Tahoe 26.3.1
    to 26.3.1 (a)

    Also corresponding updates for iOS, iPadOS and the Neo's 26.3.2
    system. As the link below states BSIs seem to have replaced RSRs.

    The update is related to a potential issue with Webkit.

    Only been notified about it this morning on my phone. Despite automatic installs being set, it hasn't.
