Is MAC OS Catalina (10.15.7) vulnerable to Pegasus spyware? Does Apple have new update for it?

Update macOS on Mac - Apple Support

No. It's only affects iPhones and Android phones. Keep your phone's system updated (Apple released a security update yesterday) and you're not a reporter, activist, celebrity or nefarious character you should have nothing to worry about.

While you should update your Catalina to apply the security update you need to know that you have little to worry about. You are highly unlikely to be attacked by the Pegasus software. This is James Bond 007 level stuff, expensive and difficult to use. The company that sells this software claims it only sells it to governments and law enforcement. The people who should worry about this are those who may be targets of government surveillance, like journalists, human rights activists, political dissidents, terrorists, etc. The ex-boyfriend, ex-girlfriend, angry neighbor, thug down the street, or, some teenager in their parent’s basement is not a customer for this software.

Update your Catalina but don’t worry about it. It’s a nothing burger for the average user.

yes and yes it is in system preferences as of today
