Centre issues ‘severe’ warning for iPhone users, flags ‘multiple vulnerabilities’ in Apple products

The central government has flagged ‘multiple vulnerabilities’ in Apple products such as iPhones, iPads and more in its most recent warning, which could lead to spoofing or the leaking of sensitive information from the device. Indian Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT-In) issued the advisory on its official platform, flagging the issue as ‘highly severe’.

The CERT advisory dated August 2 reads, “Multiple vulnerabilities have been reported in Apple products which could allow an attacker to access sensitive information, execute arbitrary code, bypass security restrictions, cause denial of service (DoS) and perform spoofing attacks on the targeted system.”
