CERT-In warns Apple users of high severity iOS vulnerability

The Indian Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT-In) has disclosed that a vulnerability has been reported in iOS, affecting Apple iOS version prior to 12.5.7 for iPhone 5s, iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus, iPad Air, iPad mini 2, iPad mini 3, and iPod touch (6th gen).

 

The vulnerability exists due to a type of confusion flaw in the WebKit component. With this vulnerability, an attacker could lure the victim to visit a malicious crafted website. Successful exploitation of this vulnerability could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code on the targeted system.

 

The vulnerability is being actively exploited against versions of iOS released before iOS 15.1. Users are advised to install the latest iOS 12.5.7 patch that was launched by Apple earlier this week, to avoid any swindling.

 

Although Apple recommends users to run the latest builds of iOS on their iPhones to have a more secure and features rich OS, older iPhone models are unable to install the latest updates due to hardware limitations. A few users also opt to run the older version of iOS for ease of use but older iOS versions are easier to exploit.
