Multiple vulnerabilities (CVE-2024-44308 and CVE-2024-44309) have been discovered in Apple products, the most severe of which could allow for arbitrary code execution. Successful exploitation of the most severe of these vulnerabilities could allow for arbitrary code execution in the context of the logged on user.  Depending on the privileges associated with the user, a threat actor could then install programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts with full user rights. 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.

  • Safari versions prior to 18.1.1
  • iOS versions prior to 18.1.1 and iPadOS versions prior to 18.1.1
  • iOS versions prior to 17.7.2 and iPadOS versions prior to 17.7.2
  • macOS Sequoia versions prior to 15.1.1
  • visionOS versions prior to 2.1.1
