A security flaw in Firefox 72 allows hackers to access computers running the browser, MacRumors reported.

The US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), a subset of the Department of Homeland Security, recommends users immediately update to the newest version. "An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to take control of an affected system," CISA said. "This vulnerability was detected in exploits in the wild."

Mozilla released an update, and wrote in a statement, "We are aware of targeted attacks in the wild abusing this flaw." The update patches the vulnerability, and Firefox users can download it here.
