Apple Releases iTunes 12.13.3 Update for Windows 10 and Windows 11

TapTechNews September 27th, the tech media 9to5Mac released a blog post yesterday (September 26th), reporting that Apple released an update log this Thursday, introducing the iTunes 12.13.3 update content for the Windows 10 and Windows 11 platforms.

TapTechNews quoted Apple's official update log. This update mainly patched a local privilege escalation vulnerability, which Apple has repaired by imposing additional restrictions.

The vulnerability tracking number is CVE-2024-44193, discovered and reported by MadsBall and BochengXiang from Fudan University.

Apple currently updates iTunes for Windows 10 and Windows 11 regularly, but it has been a while since it launched new features for it.

Apple has now begun to provide some functions of iTunes in the form of independent applications, such as launching independent AppleMusic and AppleTV applications (currently only in the beta version), and there is also an application specifically for managing iOS devices for backing up and restoring software, etc.

However, if users want to use ApplePodcast on Windows 10 and Windows 11, they still need to rely on the iTunes application.
