⚡ TL;DR | Go Straight to the Apple Vulnerability Audit Report
Apple has rolled out a series of security updates for iOS, iPadOS, macOS, tvOS, watchOS, and Safari in response to 2 vulnerabilities. Both of them have already been exploited in the wild. When successfully exploited, the flaws allow an attacker to modify sensitive kernel states. We have added a new report to Lansweeper to help you locate vulnerable devices.
Apple Vulnerabilities CVE-2023-37450 and CVE-2023-38408
The vulnerability tracked as CVE-2023-37450 is a flaw in the WebKit browser engine that was patched earlier this month. An attacker could use this flaw to execute arbitrary code by tricking its targets into opening maliciously crafted web pages. Arbitrary code execution attacks can compromise the integrity of sensitive data and files.
CVE-2023-38606 is a Kernel vulnerability that has already been exploited in attacks against devices running older versions of iOS. On unpatched devices, the flaw allows attackers to modify sensitive kernel states. CVE-2023-38606 is also connected to the mobile cyber espionage campaign „Operation Triangulation“ that we discussed in an earlier Apple vulnerability update.
