Government issues high-risk warning for Apple products after Samsung

Following Samsung, the Indian Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT-In) Center’s security advisory issued a high-risk warning on Friday for Apple products due to multiple vulnerabilities that could seriously jeopardize user data and device security.

“Multiple vulnerabilities have been reported in Apple products which could allow an attacker to access sensitive information, execute arbitrary code, bypass security restrictions, cause denial of service (DoS) conditions, bypass authentication, gain elevated privileges, and perform spoofing attacks on the targeted systems,” read a statement from CERT-In.

iOS, iPadOS, macOS, tvOS, watchOS, and the Safari web browser are among the impacted products.

On Wednesday, the Center sent out a similar caution about Samsung Galaxy smartphones.

“Multiple vulnerabilities have been reported in Samsung products that could allow an attacker to bypass implemented security restrictions, access sensitive information, and execute arbitrary code on the targeted system,” a CERT-In statement read.

Risks were mentioned in the notification for Samsung Mobile Android versions 11, 12, 13, and 14.
