In a security advisory on its website, Apple said it was aware of two vulnerabilities that “may have been actively exploited on Intel-based Mac systems.” The bugs are considered “zero day” vulnerabilities because they were unknown to Apple at the time they were exploited.

Apple has released an emergency patch to fix two vulnerabilities that hackers have exploited to target Intel-based Mac computers. The previously unknown "zero-day" flaws led Apple to issue patches for macOS, iOS, and iPadOS.Details are thin, but both bugs involve a Mac, iPhone, or iPad processing "maliciously crafted web content" to trigger the operating system to execute rogue computer code.

Apple warns Mac users about two critical zero-day vulnerabilities actively exploited by hackers. Urgent software updates are available for Mac, iPhone, and iPad to prevent malware attacks and data theft.
