Apple has finally fixed a security bug with its newpassword managerapp which could have put your data at risk.

Developer and security researcher Tommy Mysk, however, found a vulnerability in its system soon after the launch.

“This malicious data pipe overwrites the response to return a custom icon,” said Mysk.

“Passwords picked the custom icon and showed it in the app.

This could be a malicious payload.”

The 18.2 update isn’t just about fixing vulnerabilities, though.
