'Multiple Vulnerabilities': India Issues High-Risk Warning For Apple Products Following Samsung Advisory

Following a similar high-risk warning issued for Samsung, India's apex cybersecurity agency has issued an advisory on Friday for Apple products.

The Indian Computer Emergency and Response Team (CERT-In) cited multiple vulnerabilities that could significantly compromise user data and device security.

"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) conditions, bypass authentication, gain elevated privileges, and perform spoofing attacks on the targeted systems," read a statement from CERT-In. 

The affected products include iOS, iPadOS, macOS, tvOS, watchOS, and the Safari browser.

The agency has also advised Apple users to update their OSes to the latest version.

On Wednesday, the Centre released a similar alert for Samsung Galaxy phones.

"Multiple vulnerabilities have been reported in Samsung products that could allow an attacker to bypass implemented security restrictions, access sensitive information, and execute arbitrary code on the targeted system," a CERT-In statement read. 

The notification warned of risks in Samsung Mobile Android versions 11, 12, 13, and 14.
