Apple Issues Urgent Security Update for iPhones

Apple has released urgent updates for iPhone and Mac users, addressing two critical security vulnerabilities in iOS 18.1.1 and macOS 15.1.1. The flaws, tracked as CVE-2024-44308 and CVE-2024-44309, could allow attackers to execute arbitrary code and perform cross-site scripting attacks via malicious web content, potentially compromising users' devices remotely. Apple has confirmed that these vulnerabilities may have already been exploited in the wild, particularly on Intel-based Mac systems. The updates are recommended for all users, with the U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Agency advising immediate installation to protect against these threats. Additionally, for those who have not upgraded to iOS 18, Apple has released iOS 17.7.2, which patches the same vulnerabilities. Users are urged to download the updates promptly to enhance their device security.
