OUR Apple recommends owners of multiple iPhones, iPads and Macs urgently update their software as it has discovered a security hole that could allow hackers to take full control of their devices.

The issue affects the iPhone 6 and later of this phone, all iPad Pro tablets, iPad 5th generation and later, and Monterey Macs, as explained on the emergency security update download sites posted on the Apple website.

According to the company, “the application can execute arbitrary code” and thus give access to the machine to a hacker, allowing him to take control of it.

“Apple is aware that this feature can be actively exploited by hackers at this time,” the company added, without elaborating.

According to the Cupertino, Calif.-based company, the security breach could be exploited by hackers using “Internet content containing malicious software.”

To help prevent this risk, Apple recommends that product owners download and install iOS version 15.6.1 for iPhone, iPadOS version 15.6.1 for iPad, and macOS Monterey 12.5.1 for Mac computers.

The security hole was discovered, according to Apple, by an anonymous researcher.
