India’s cybersecurity agency has issued an urgent alert for Apple users to update their devices following the discovery of multiple security vulnerabilities affecting iPhones, iPads, Macs, and other Apple products. These flaws could allow attackers to access sensitive data, bypass security measures, or disrupt device operations if not addressed promptly. The advisory, released by the Indian Computer Emergency Response Team, highlights risks across various Apple software platforms, urging users to update older versions of iOS, iPadOS, macOS, tvOS, visionOS, and the Safari browser. The vulnerabilities could lead to elevated system privileges, information leaks, and denial-of-service attacks. While no specific attacks on Indian users have been reported, timely software updates are recommended to prevent exploitation. Apple consistently provides security updates, and users are encouraged to apply them immediately to protect against potential threats.
