What is the OS Catalina version if the security patch for Sept 13, 2021?


mine is 10.15.7


Is it now secure, or do I need to install the Big Sur to get the security patch

Go to Apple > About This Mac > System Report > select Installations down in the Software section.



There you should see the macOS Catalina Security Update 2012-005.


If not, then you can get the Update by going to Apple > System Preferences > Software Update > and waiting until More Updates appears underneath of the macOS Big Sur Upgrade.



My Software Update panel no longer shows the macOS Security 2012-005 and Safari updates, because I did them yesterday.
