CZ, the founder of Binance, shared a report from the cybersecurity news website securityweek on social media, urging users of Mac devices with Intel chips to promptly install system updates.
According to the report, Apple released critical security updates for macOS and iOS this week to address two actively exploited vulnerabilities. These vulnerabilities were discovered by Google's Threat Analysis Group (TAG), and Apple's Tuesday announcement confirmed that Intel-based macOS systems have been targeted by these vulnerabilities.
The details of the patched vulnerabilities are as follows:
- CVE-2024-44308 — JavaScriptCore — Processing maliciously crafted web content may lead to arbitrary code execution. Apple is aware that this issue may have been actively exploited on Intel-based Mac systems.
- CVE-2024-44309 — WebKit — Processing maliciously crafted web content may lead to cross-site Script attacks. Apple is aware that this issue may have been actively exploited on Intel-based Mac systems.
Due to the active exploitation of these vulnerabilities, Apple is urging users to install the emergency updates, including iOS 18.1.1, macOS Sequoia 15.1.1, and older versions such as iOS 17.7.2, as soon as possible.
