On Tuesday, Apple released a bunch of security fixes, and we suggest you take them seriously.
The company released updates for macOS Sequoia, Ventura, and Sonoma. Fixes were also released for iOS, iPadOS, and visionOS. Apple also issued a separate fix for its Safari browser.
SEE ALSO: Apple shares the most popular podcasts of 2024The fixes mostly revolve around two vulnerabilities: one in JavaScriptCore and the other in WebKit. Both vulnerabilities allowed a hacker to maliciously craft web content that could lead to arbitrary code execution. This type of vulnerability is as critical as it gets; if a hacker can run any program on your system, they can take control of it or infect it with a virus.
The update is available for Mac systems running one of the three affected operating systems, as well as iPhone XS and later, iPad Pro 13-inch, iPad Pro 12.9-inch 3rd generation and later, iPad Pro 11-inch 1st generation and later, iPad Air 3rd generation and later, iPad 7th generation and later, and iPad mini 5th generation and later.
Apple had no prior knowledge of these bugs; the company credits the discovery of these issues to Clément Lecigne and Benoît Sevens of Google's Threat Analysis Group.
Apple says it's aware of a report that both issues have been actively exploited by hackers, albeit only on Intel-based Mac systems. Nevertheless, if your device hasn't automatically updated to the latest version, we suggest you update as soon as possible.
