CERT-In Warns Apple Device Users to Update Software Amid Security Vulnerabilities

India's cybersecurity agency CERT-In has issued a security warning for users of Apple devices, including iPhones, iPads, Macs, Apple TVs, and Safari browser. Multiple vulnerabilities affecting older versions of iOS, iPadOS, macOS, tvOS, visionOS, and Safari could allow attackers to gain elevated privileges, access sensitive data, bypass security controls, or cause denial-of-service issues. CERT-In advises users to promptly install the latest Apple software updates to mitigate these risks, though no active attacks have been reported.
