I get keeping details of security issues under wraps until the responsible disclosure is complete, but geez, this article feels like FUD more than it does information. It says there’s a arbitrary code execution, security bypass, DoS vuln in a bunch of Apple products, but it doesn’t mention a CVE, link to a disclosure by the researchers, or really give me any way to verify that the vulnerabilty is legitimate in any way. Until additional information comes to light, I’m not worried at all.

Edit: I found some details, but IMHO, the journaists could have linked to something to confirm their reports. [CVE details for Septmber 2024 for Apple, Inc. ordered by severity.](https://www.cvedetails.com/vulnerability-list/assigner-45/Apple-Inc..html?page=1&year=2024&month=9&order=3) There are a couple denial of service vulnearabilies and a sandbox escape that are concerning. Additionally there’s a couple info-stealer kinds of vulnerabilities that are worth looking at, but overall, even though most of these high severity CVEs look scary, I don’t think there’s anything to be worried about, even after seeing the details.

This is a warning by “Indian Computer Emergency Response Team”, not the US gov.

Don’t click that link, this is probably the most insanely horrible website I’ve ever seen.
