Is Xcode listed under other names? Yes.
Apple also lists Xcode under more specific names, such as Xcode Tools. Flaws listed only under those names are counted on their own pages, not here. If you run one of these, open its page for its own exploited flaws.
Which versions of Xcode do the exploited flaws hit?
Each exploited flaw lists the versions it affects, usually as ranges. "before 26.0" means every version up to, but not including, 26.0. Find your version, then patch.
