The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) has issued an urgent warning about a critical kernel vulnerability affecting Apple's iOS, iPadOS, and macOS platforms that is currently being exploited in the wild, as reported by The Hacker News and Forbes. CISA has mandated that Federal Civilian Executive Branch (FCEB) agencies must patch this security flaw by February 21st. SentinelOne has reported an ongoing macOS malware campaign exploiting the vulnerability through cracked copies of popular applications and productivity tools, with a novel delivery technique highlighted by darkreading. The campaign has been detailed in a blog post by SentinelOne's philofishal.
