macOS Rapid Security Response Update Version Database

macOS Rapid Security Response Updates

macOS Rapid Security Response Update Database. (DEPRECATED!)

UPDATE 1/6/26: The RSR update system is now deprecated. Apple has replaced RSR updates with the new “Background Security Improvements” Update system. More info –> https://support.apple.com/guide/deployment/background-security-improvements-dep93ff7ea78/web

Starting with macOS Ventura, Apple has added a new feature called “Rapid Security Response”. This new update system was designed so that Apple can quickly deploy a small targeted security update. Users no longer have to wait for a large OS updates to be fully protected.

This database will contain both the OS and Safari version number changes when a RSR update is made available.

UPDATED: 7/12/23

NOTE: I’ve included an direct Apple download link for each RSR. The update can not be installed manually, but you can inspect it.
