Security update for Intel-based Macbook models
Apple has released critical security updates for all of its devices, including Mac, iPhone, iPad, Vision Pro, and Safari browser. These updates fix vulnerabilities that have been reported to be actively used by cyber attackers and put users at risk.
The update targets vulnerabilities in the WebKit rendering engine used by the Safari browser and JavaScriptCore components that execute JavaScript code on macOS and iOS devices. Apple said these components could run arbitrary code and give attackers control.
Zero-day vulnerabilities mainly affected Macbook models with Intel processors. Apple did not provide detailed information about the number of affected devices or possible data breaches. However, it acknowledged that it has received reports that these vulnerabilities are actively used in Mac systems.
The company also said that devices using older software versions are particularly at risk. It was stated that attackers can gain unauthorised access to the device using vulnerabilities, steal personal data (photos, messages, location information, etc.), and install malware.
