Another ImageIO vulnerability… Oh no…

Update your Apple devices ASAP. Another ImageIO vulnerability which of course likely means it can be triggered via a “zero-click” exploit chain sent to other messaging apps. Unknown yet which image format(s) it targets specifically, therefore unknown if Lockdown Mode would protect against it or not. As always, if you’re using Numbers Station with quarantine on, you have been protected from this and will continue to be so, even if you do not update…but update!

Update: Apple confirmed that when Lockdown Mode (LM) is enabled it blocks this vulnerability from being exploited. The vulnerability is in the WebP image format which is blocked when LM is enabled.
