Apple provides an emergency update for iPhone, iPad, and Mac for WebKit Zero Day

The new Zero-Day feature in WebKit affects iPhones, Macs, and iPads. Because the company suspects that zero-day is being actively exploited, it forces an update.

Apple is releasing a Rapid Security Response (RSR) update for iPhone, iPad, and Mac. “This rapid security response provides important security fixes and is recommended for all users,” Apple said in the update.

It is a response to a new zero day that leaves fully patched devices vulnerable. Apple itself states that it is aware there is a chance hackers could exploit the issue.

Zeroday is known by an anonymous researcher

Apple learned about Zero Day through the work of an anonymous researcher. Earlier this year, research also found three vulnerabilities in WebKit. Apple’s cybersecurity experts don’t seem to find significant bugs in their own products. The results put WebKit security in a whole new light. The tech giant has long stuck to its claim that Apple products are unbeatable in terms of security.
