Experts from the Trellix agency discovered a dangerous vulnerability in Apple devices. This was reported by ComputerWeekly.

According to the organization’s experts, the group of vulnerabilities is related to the ForcedEntry exploit, which was announced in September 2021. The spying exploit was used by NSO Group for Pegasus software, which gives full access to users’ smartphones.

Based on an old vulnerability in iOS and macOS, experts have discovered that it is possible to organize new ways to attack iPhone and Mac consumers, even though Apple has already fixed the problem with ForcedEntry. Yes, an attacker can afford to run some code, hack the hardware, and gain access to all of the victim’s data.

Researchers called the current issue in Apple devices “an entirely new class of vulnerabilities.” However, Trellix emphasized that it informed the American company about the problem and fixed the vulnerabilities in the system. Bugs fixed in macOS 13.2 and iOS 16.3. “Recognizing and involving the security research community is an important component of any comprehensive software security initiative”– Jonathan Knudsen, head of the global research center for Synopsys Cybersecurity Research, commented on the situation.
