Multiple Vulnerabilities in Apple Products Could Allow for Arbitrary Code Execution

Read Time:41 Second

Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Apple Products, the most severe of which could allow for arbitrary code execution.

macOS Ventura is the 19th and current major release of macOS
iOS is a mobile operating system for mobile devices, including the iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch.
iPadOS is the successor to iOS 12 and is a mobile operating system for iPads.
Successful exploitation of the most severe of these vulnerabilities could allow for arbitrary code execution in the context of the logged on user. Depending on the privileges associated with the user, an attacker could then install programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts with full user rights. Users whose accounts are configured to have fewer user rights on the system could be less impacted than those who operate with administrative user rights.
