These updates resolve two significant vulnerabilities: one located in **JavaScriptCore** and the other in **WebKit**. Both security flaws permitted attackers to create harmful web content that could facilitate arbitrary code execution. This specific type of vulnerability is incredibly perilous, as it permits hackers to execute unauthorized software on your device, potentially granting them complete control or enabling them to deploy malware.

The update is accessible for Mac devices operating on any of the three impacted operating systems, as well as the subsequent devices:
– iPhone XS and newer
– iPad Pro 13-inch
– iPad Pro 12.9-inch (3rd generation and newer)
– iPad Pro 11-inch (1st generation and newer)
– iPad Air (3rd generation and newer)
– iPad (7th generation and newer)
– iPad mini (5th generation and newer)

Prior to their discovery by **Clément Lecigne** and **Benoît Sevens** from Google’s Threat Analysis Group, Apple was not aware of these vulnerabilities.

Apple has confirmed that there are reports indicating these vulnerabilities have been actively leveraged by hackers, although only on Intel-based Mac systems up to this point. If your device hasn’t updated automatically, it is strongly advised that you perform a manual update as soon as you can.
