Apple has now disclosed a couple of security vulnerabilities for certain iPhone, iPad and Mac models that could allow hackers to take complete control of the device remotely. Apple released two security reports that describe the vulnerability allowing someone to get full access to the devices.

The vulnerability affects all iPhone 6S models and newer. Additionally, it also affects several models of the iPad, which include the iPad 5th Gen and newer models, all iPad Pro models, and the iPad Air 2. Mac devices are also affected by the vulnerability, especially the ones that run macOS Monterey. Some iPod models are also affected by the vulnerability.
The security reports have not mentioned any attack or utilization of the vulnerability. However, it is always wise to download the latest security patch and secure your data on the device. All users of iPhone, iPad, and Mac need to look out for a software patch as part of an OTA download. This patch will fix the issue immediately.
