  • Apple releases update for iOS and iPadOS devices with security patch
  • It claims the update fixes a bug disabling USB Restricted Mode
  • The bug was being abused in the wild, Apple says

Apple has released a new patch for iOS and iPadOS devices to fix a recently discovered flaw – which normally would be nothing extraordinary, had Apple not described the patched vulnerability quite as dramatically as it did.

In a security advisory, the company said it was releasing iOS 18.3.1 and iPadOS 18.3.1 to address CVE-2025-24200, a flaw plaguing many of its iPhones and iPads which could allow a malicious actor to run a “physical attack” that disables USB Restricted Mode on a locked device.
