Apple released iOS 14.7.1 and iPadOS 14.7.1 a while back with a fix for iPhones that were unable to unlock Apple Watch using Touch ID. But, within the changelog, Apple did mention that it was an important security update as well. We are assuming that the security fix in macOS is the same as that on the iPhone and iPad. Regardless, we encourage everyone to go ahead and download the update right now.
