Two more Apple bugs have reportedly been identified by privacy experts less than 10 days after it was revealed by the technology company that others had been affecting iOS 16. It has been discovered that security protections can be avoided by cybercriminals to then run venomous code that would allow them to access users' images, messages, address book and calendar.
Users can protect their personal information from hackers in several different ways, including not opening messages from unknown users and exclusively using trusted apps in the App Store. The new vulnerabilities were recently added by Apple to its product security page, encouraging users to downloads 16.3.1 to ensure the issues are patched, reports Mail Online.
The weaknesses, CVE-2023-23520 and CVE-2023-23531 were shared by privacy experts at VPNOverview, and allow cybercriminals to avoid the cryptographic signing process and run threatening code out of its ring-fenced security sandbox.
