Apple has released iOS 18.6.2 and iPadOS 18.6.2, and this update is critical for your security and the company’s security.

What’s in This Update?

• Critical Security Fix:
  • Addresses a vulnerability in Image IO (CVE-2025-43300) that could allow attackers to exploit devices through malicious image files.
  • Apple confirmed this flaw may have been actively exploited in targeted attacks.

Why It Matters

• If your device is compromised, attackers could gain access to company resources, including email, Teams, and internal apps.
