Apple has rolled out new security updates for iOS, iPad, macOS, visions, and Safari  to tackle the two zero-day vulnerabilities:

  • CVE-2024-44308: it is a JavaScript Core flaw that allows malicious web content to execute arbitrary code.  
  • CVE-2024-44309: A WebKit cookie is a management bug that permits cross-site scripting ( XSS) to be able to attack with malicious content.

This problem was reportedly discovered by researchers from Google’s Threat Analysis Group (TAG), who believed they had been targeted through spyware attacks, particularly those affecting Intel-based Mac systems.
