| Apple shot in the heel by Achilles Critical Apple bug needed Microsoft to point it out before it was noticed Remember the days when Apple mocked Microsoft's security? It now seems that the fruity cargo cult is relying on Vole to find flaws its software genii can't spot. Microsoft has disclosed details of a now-patched security flaw in Apple macOS that could be exploited by an attacker to get around security protections imposed to prevent the execution of malicious applications. Dubbed Achilles (CVE-2022-42821, CVSS score: 5.5), was addressed by the iPhone maker in macOS Ventura 13, Monterey 12.6.2, and Big Sur 11.7.2, describing it as a logic issue that could be weaponised by an app to circumvent Gatekeeper checks. Microsoft 365 Defender Research Team Jonathan Bar Or said that gatekeeper bypasses such as this could be used as a vector for initial access by malware and other threats and could help increase the success rate of malicious campaigns and attacks on macOS. https://fudzilla.com/news/56022-appl...el-by-achilles |
