These vulnerabilities, identified as CVE-2024-44308 and CVE-2024-44309, affect JavaScriptCore and WebKit, respectively. Exploitation of these flaws could lead to unauthorized code execution and malware injection through malicious web content.

2. Regular Security Assessments: Conduct routine evaluations of your organization’s IT infrastructure to identify and address potential vulnerabilities.
3. Employee Awareness: Educate staff about the importance of timely software updates and the risks associated with outdated systems.
4. Incident Response Planning: Develop and maintain a robust incident response plan to effectively address potential security breaches.
