Earlier this week, Apple released iOS 14.7.1 and macOS Big Sur 11.5.1. The iOS update fixes an issue with Apple Watch pairing on iPhones with Touch ID. However, it also comes with a fix for a critical security vulnerability that may have been actively exploited. The Indian Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT-In) has now issued a vulnerability note urging users to update their iPhones immediately.
“A vulnerability has been reported in Apple iOS and iPadOS which could be exploited by a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code and gain elevated privileges on a targeted system. This vulnerability is currently exploited in the wild, users are advised to apply patches urgently,” wrote CERT-In in its vulnerability note.
