Security update

In the macOS Sequoia 15.4.1 security content document, Apple disclosed awareness of targeted exploitation for two security flaws. One issue is tied to CoreAudio-based code execution and the other to a Pointer Authentication bypass scenario.

Why it should be tracked

Apple used the phrase "extremely sophisticated attack against specific targeted individuals" for these issues. That elevates the importance of device patching and targeted-device security reviews.
