Apple released the iOS 18.1.1 update, designed to address two important vulnerabilities identified in JavaScriptCore and WebKit, which, according to the company, were actively exploited on certain devices.
The vulnerability in JavaScriptCore allowed the execution of arbitrary code by processing maliciously crafted web content. Also, the vulnerability in WebKit presented the same problem, which could lead to cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks.
Apple admitted that these vulnerabilities were exploited especially on Mac systems based on Intel processors. However, the risk is not limited to older Macs, as other devices may be affected by the same security flaws.
To protect users, Apple recommends updating devices to the latest software version immediately. This measure is essential to prevent potential cyber attacks that can exploit these weak points.
The iOS 18.1.1 update underlines Apple's commitment to maintaining the security of its users, but also highlights the importance of proactive measures on their part to protect their personal data and devices.
