Apple has released Rapid Security Response updates for iOS, iPadOS, macOS, and Safari web browser to address a zero-day flaw that it said has been actively exploited in the wild.
The WebKit bug, cataloged as CVE-2023-37450, could allow threat actors to achieve arbitrary code execution when processing specially crafted web content.
Credited with discovering and reporting the flaw is an anonymous researcher.
Apple noted in a terse advisory that it's "Aware of a report that this issue may have been actively exploited."
Apple has addressed 10 zero-day vulnerabilities in its software since the start of 2023.
It also arrives weeks after the company rolled out patches to fix three zero-days, two of which have been weaponized by unidentified actors in connection with an espionage campaign called Operation Triangulation.
