Apple on Monday announced that software updates for its desktop and mobile operating systems address tens of vulnerabilities, including a zero-day flaw in macOS Big Sur that has been exploited in attacks.

Tracked as CVE-2021-30713, the exploited bug has been described as a bypass of the Transparency Consent and Control (TCC) protections, which control what resources applications have access to. An attacker can exploit it to access data on disk, to record the screen, and gain additional permissions without user interaction.

    Not only did Apple patch Big Sur:

    Over 70 other vulnerabilities were addressed in macOS Big Sur, more than half of which were also addressed with software updates for macOS Catalina and macOS Mojave.

    I installed the patch for macOS Catalina yesterday evening.

    When will the people using Mac’s figure out that they need third party security software and not depend only on Apples Security? :wink:

    Never @ProTruckDriver because they keep hearing that Apple products do not get viruses etc.
