Apple has rolled out two critical security updates after uncovering zero-day vulnerabilities targeting Intel-based Mac computers.
In a disclosure posted Tuesday, the company detailed its discovery of the flaws and the rapid fixes implemented to protect Mac users. These zero-day bugs — so named because they were exploited before Apple could address them — prompted the release of bug patches for iOS devices and a dedicated macOS software update.
The vulnerabilities stem from Apple’s WebKit and JavaScriptCore, which drive Safari and render web content.
Regardless of the source, the priority for Apple users is clear: update your devices immediately to ensure they’re running the latest software. Here’s how:
How to update Apple devices:
The latest security patches are available for Mac systems running any of the three affected macOS versions, alongside a range of iPhones and iPads. To ensure your device is protected, follow these steps:
For macOS:
-
Open System Preferences (or System Settings on macOS Ventura and later).
-
Click on Software Update.
-
If an update is available, select Update Now or Upgrade Now, depending on your macOS version.
For iPhones and iPads:
-
Open the Settings app.
-
Go to General > Software Update.
-
Tap Download and Install if an update is available.
These updates apply to iPhone XS and newer models, iPad Pro 13-inch, iPad Pro 12.9-inch (3rd generation and later), iPad Pro 11-inch (1st generation and later), iPad Air (3rd generation and later), iPad (7th generation and later), and iPad mini (5th generation and later).
