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

DETAILS:

  • macOS Monterey is the 18th and current major release of macOS.

  • iOS is a mobile operating system for mobile devices, including the iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch.

    Successful exploitation of the most severe of these vulnerabilities could allow for arbitrary code execution in the context of the logged on user.

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.
