    Let \(\mathcal{B}\) denote the unit ball of the Banach space \(H^{\infty}(\mathbb{D})\) of bounded holomorphic functions on the unit disc \(\mathbb{D}\) of the complex plane endowed with the topology of uniform convergence on compact sets. Let \(\phi\) be an analytic self map on \(\mathbb{D}\). A function \(f \in \mathcal{B}\) is called \(\mathcal{B}\)-universal for the composition operator \(C_{\phi}\) if \(O(f):= \{ f \circ \phi^{[n]} \;; \;n=0,1,2,\dots \}\) is dense in \(\mathcal{B}\), where \(\phi^{[n]}\) is the \(n\)-th iterate of \(\phi\). The composition operator \(C_{\phi}\) is \(\mathcal{B}\)-universal if it admits a \(\mathcal{B}\)-universal function. \textit{F.\,Bayart, P.\,Gorkin, S.\,Grivaux} and \textit{R.\,Mortini} [Ark.\ Mat.\ 47, No.\,2, 205--229 (2009; Zbl 1195.30069)] proved that \(C_{\phi}\) is \(\mathcal{B}\)-universal if and only if \(\phi\) is a hyperbolic or parabolic automorphism of the unit disc. In this case, the universal function can be chosen to be a Blaschke product. In the present paper, the following result about common universal functions for uncountable families of composition operators on \(\mathcal{B}\) is proved: There exists a Blaschke product \(B\) which is universal for all the composition operators \(C_{\phi}\) associated with hyperbolic or parabolic automorphisms \(\phi\) on \(\mathbb{D}\) with \(1\) as an attractive point. The proof uses an argument of \textit{G.\,Costakis} and \textit{M.\,Sambarino} in [Adv.\ Math.\ 182, No.\,2, 278--306 (2004; Zbl 1066.47005)].
