74% Informative

Apple is urging iPhone users to download iOS 18.3.2, which is available now.

The fix is meant to protect Apple customers from an 'extremely sophisticated attack' that is exploiting a critical zero-day vulnerability.

The vulnerability, called CVE-2025-24201 , was identified within Webkit - the browser engine used in Safari and all other internet browsers created for the iPhone or iPad .

Hackers used the flaw like an open door, creating malicious websites that would give them access to other smartphone areas outside of a victim's web browser.

Apple has not said who was targeted, how long the attacks lasted, or how Apple found out about the attacks.
