Apples Security Alert June 2023 recently released multiple updates to patch various Apple products affected by multiple vulnerabilities. A total of three vulnerabilities were fixed in nine of its products on June 21st. An attacker who successfully exploits these flaws could therefore compromise the affected device and take complete control of the affected device. This was realized by using their vulnerability management software.

The security updates released for macOS (macOS Big Sur, macOS Big Monterey, and macOS Ventura) fix two vulnerabilities, and One vulnerability was therefore fixed in Apple Safari. So, these vulnerabilities allowed attackers to execute arbitrary code.

The security patch released for iOS and iPadOS fixes 3 Zero-Day vulnerabilities. Apples Security Alert June 2023 flaws allowed attackers to additionally cause arbitrary code execution via maliciously crafted web content or with kernel privileges.

One vulnerability was fixed in WatchOS, which therefore allowed malicious apps to execute arbitrary code with kernel privileges.
