The Indian Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT-In) has issued separate security advisories warning of multiple high-risk vulnerabilities in Apple products and Google Chrome for Desktop. The Apple advisory, released on September 21, covers iPhones, iPads, Macs, Apple Watches, Apple TVs, Vision Pro and Safari. Hindustan Times reports that the flaws could let a remote attacker execute arbitrary code, access confidential data, bypass security protections or cause a device to malfunction.
The Google Chrome advisory, issued on September 24, warns of vulnerabilities affecting versions before 153.0.8010.52/.53 on Windows and Mac, and before 153.0.8010.52 on Linux. Times Now reports these flaws could allow remote code execution, data theft, spoofing attacks or denial of service. Both advisories rate the risk as high and urge users to install the latest updates immediately. Apple released major software fixes on September 14, Google has also issued a security update for Chrome.
Indian Opinion Analysis
Both Hindustan Times and Times Now report the CERT-In advisories with straight, neutral reporting, neither praising nor criticising the government or the companies. Each outlet leads with its own device brand, reflecting the advisory's audience rather than a slant. The coverage is uniform: the key takeaway for users of either platform is the same urgency to update. The practical test will be whether users act on the advisory before exploits emerge in the wild.
