A security research firm found a pair of bugs in Mail in iOS 13 that could be leveraged to allow arbitrary code to run without a user viewing the message. But claims about how severe and how widespread the exploits are seem overstated.

Apple has now responded to Mark Gurman of Bloomberg about this topic, agreeing that there are vulnerabilities, but that they don’t pose an immediate risk.
