Urgent Apple Update – Protect Your Devices Now

Apple Users: Your Security Depends on This Update

Apple has just issued an urgent security advisory that affects nearly every device in their ecosystem. This includes iPhones, iPads, Macs, Apple Watches, Apple TVs, and even the new Apple Vision Pro. The reason for this alert is the discovery of three critical zero-day vulnerabilities.

Zero-day vulnerabilities are flaws that have already been discovered and exploited by attackers before a fix becomes available. That means these risks are real and active right now.

What Are the Vulnerabilities?

Let us break them down in a simple way.

1. CVE-2025-24200: USB Restricted Mode Bypass This flaw allows someone with physical access to your device to disable USB Restricted Mode, which is a protection designed to keep your data safe if your device is lost or stolen.

2. CVE-2025-24201: WebKit Browser Exploit This issue is found in WebKit, the engine that powers Safari and every browser on iOS. A specially crafted website could use this flaw to break out of browser restrictions and access the rest of your device.

3. CVE-2025-24085: CoreMedia Privilege Escalation This vulnerability lies in CoreMedia, the framework that handles audio and video. A malicious app could take advantage of this to gain elevated access, allowing it to perform actions it normally should not.

How Bad Is It?

Security experts have given these flaws CVSS scores of 6.1, 8.1, and 7.8 respectively. Anything above a 7.0 is considered high risk. In other words, these are serious.
