The Passwords password management app has a glaring security vulnerability.
This vulnerability was discovered by security researchers at Mysk, who found that the Passwords app uses the less secure HTTP protocol instead of HTTPS when opening links and downloading app icons. This means that malicious actors can exploit it to intercept requests and redirect users to fake websites to steal information.
With this vulnerability, attackers can create fake websites that look exactly like familiar websites and trick users into entering their login information. In addition, information such as bank accounts, email passwords, social media accounts, and other sensitive information can be stolen.
Apple has released the iOS 18.2 update to fix this vulnerability. Therefore, iPhone users should immediately update their devices to the latest iOS version. Additionally, users should be vigilant, avoid accessing suspicious links, and always double-check website addresses before entering login information.
Currently, attacks on password managers are on the rise, so people need to be more careful when using them.
Apple's swift fix of the vulnerability is a welcome sign. However, this incident also serves as a reminder that no system is completely secure and users need to remain vigilant to protect their personal information.
