Technology Apple Federal Office warns: Anyone who uses these cell phones, tablets or PCs must now act 01 October 2025 at 12:44 p.m.
Hackers use a weak point in devices from a well -known manufacturer to steal data.Only with this measure remains safe.
The BSI warns of a critical vulnerability in iOS, Ipados and MacOS.
Apps or documents can be crashed via manipulated apps or documents or compensate for sensitive data.
Apple has already released updates - you should install them immediately to remain protected.
The Federal Office of Information Technology (BSI) has published an urgent security warning for users of iPhones, iPads and Macs.The Apple devices have a weak point that is a high security risk.Apple already has a solution in the form of updates.To protect yourself, you have to act immediately and carry out an update.
The weak point bears the identifier CVE-2025-43400 and affects the so-called front parser component.This is a storage error - programs can store data outside the storage area actually provided.
Such mistakes are dangerous because attackers can take advantage of them to have your devices crash, damage the RAM or even prepare other cyber attacks.It is enough if you open a manipulated app or a prepared document.
Apple did not lose time and immediately published the necessary updates to close the vulnerability.The Front Parser weak point was remedied with the new versions.The update can be started directly via the device settings:
Go to "Settings"> "General"> "Softwareupdate".The latest version is displayed there and can be downloaded.
So that you do not miss any important security patches in the future, you should also activate the automatic updates:
Settings> General> software update> Automatic updates.
In addition to the security update, problems with WLAN and Bluetooth connections were solved in the iPhone-17 models.Camera problems were also eliminated by the update.
These versions are affected
According to BSI, the following systems should urgently be updated:
iOS: All versions before 18.7.1 and before 26.0.1
All versions before 18.7.1 and before 26.0.1 iPados: All versions before 18.7.1 and before 26.0.1
All versions before 18.7.1 and before 26.0.1 MacOS Sequoia: versions before 15.7.1
Versions before 15.7.1 MacoS SONOMA: versions before 14.8.1
Versions before 14.8.1 MacOS TAHOO: versions before 15.7.1
If you still use one of these older versions, you are acutely endangered.
Leak: This is Apple's new iPad Pro with M5 on YouTube reveals the new iPad Pro with M5 chip can already be seen in detail in an unboxing video on YouTube.The leak can be estimated as highly realistic.
Why is the risk considered high?
The BSI evaluates security gaps after a fixed matrix.The possible effects, the spread of the systems and the likelihood that attackers actively take advantage of the gap are decisive.Since iPhones, iPads and Macs are in use millions of times, an attack can affect a lot of people.Therefore, the authority classifies the risk as high.
