On Wednesday, Apple released urgent operating system updates to address two security vulnerabilities that had already been exploited in highly sophisticated attacks targeting a few iOS users.
The vulnerabilities CVE-2025-31200 and CVE-2025-31201 allow for code execution and bypass mitigation on Apple’s iOS, iPadOS, and macOS platforms.

Apple acknowledged a report indicating that both flaws were exploited in targeted attacks on specific iPhones.
Here’s Apple’s description of the software defects:
CoreAudio (CVE-2025-31200) — Processing an audio stream in a malicious media file could lead to code execution. Apple is aware of reports that this vulnerability may have been exploited in a sophisticated attack on specific iOS users. A memory corruption problem was fixed with better bounds checking, as reported by Google’s Threat Analysis Group (TAG).
RPAC (CVE-2025-31201) — An attacker with read and write access could potentially bypass Pointer Authentication. Apple has been informed of a report suggesting this issue may have been exploited in a sophisticated attack targeting specific individuals on iOS. The problem has been fixed by removing the vulnerable code.
Pointer Authentication is a security feature in some ARM architectures that ensures a pointer hasn’t been tampered with through cryptographic methods.
Vulnerabilities on macOS Sequoia have been fixed, but Apple reports that exploitation has been limited to a few iPhones. As usual, Apple did not provide details or IOCs about these exploits.
