Apple has released security updates for macOS Tahoe, Sequoia, and Sonoma to address a Screen Sharing vulnerability. Users should install the patches immediately.

Apple addressed a Screen Sharing vulnerability affecting three versions of its macOS operating system. The patches are available for macOS Tahoe, Sequoia, and Sonoma. Screen Sharing is a built-in macOS feature that allows remote access and control of Mac computers. The vulnerability could potentially allow attackers to exploit the feature if left unpatched. Users running any of the three affected operating systems should check for updates in System Settings under General > Software Update. Apple typically releases security patches on Tuesdays, though emergency updates can arrive outside this schedule. The company has not disclosed additional technical details about the vulnerability's severity or whether it has been actively exploited. Users with automatic updates enabled may already have the patches installed. Apple recommends keeping macOS current to maintain security across its ecosystem of devices.
