WebKit, in particular, is a major target for hackers aiming to exploit the engine to infiltrate devices and gain access to private data.<\/p>\n<p>In the first instance, Apple said one issue stemmed from &#8220;processing maliciously crafted web content,&#8221; which can lead to an attacker running unauthorized code on a system. The problem was addressed through enhanced validation checks, according to Apple. The second issue involved a cross-site scripting attack. Apple said it resolved the vulnerability by improving cookie state management.<\/p>\n<p><strong>See also:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnet.com\/tech\/computing\/best-macbook\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener\">Best MacBook for 2024<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The company noted that it is aware of reports indicating these issues may have been actively exploited on Intel-based Mac systems. Apple also rolled out <a href=\"https:\/\/support.apple.com\/en-us\/121754\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"c-regularLink\">a security update<\/a> for the iPad and iPhone related to the same vulnerabilities.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s unclear at this time who was behind the targeted attacks, but the bugs were reported by <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.google\/threat-analysis-group\/\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"c-regularLink\">Google&#8217;s Threat Analysis Group<\/a>, which specializes in uncovering government-backed cyberattacks.<\/p>\n<p>Apple did not immediately respond to a request for comment.<\/p>\n<p>The bugs are classified as zero-day vulnerabilities because they were actively exploited before a patch was available. For security reasons, Apple said it refrains from disclosing, discussing or confirming vulnerabilities until after an investigation is complete and patches or updates have been released.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script type=\"text\/plain\" class=\"optanon-category-C0004\">\n        !function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s)\n        {if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\n        n.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};\n        if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';\n        n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\n        t.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n        s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s)}(window, document,'script',\n        'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n        fbq('set', 'autoConfig', false, '789754228632403');\n        fbq('init', '789754228632403');\n      <\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-layout-key=\"-fb+5w+4e-db+86\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"7910942971\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><div data-type=\"_mgwidget\" data-widget-id=\"1660802\">\r\n<\/div>\r\n<script>(function(w,q){w[q]=w[q]||[];w[q].push([\"_mgc.load\"])})(window,\"_mgq\");\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnet.com\/tech\/services-and-software\/apple-urges-mac-users-to-update-after-hackers-exploit-web-vulnerabilities\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Apple is recommending that\u00a0Mac users update their systems after revealing that hackers had exploited two vulnerabilities in its software.
