Though Apple publicly stated the promise of "auditing our development processes to help prevent this from happening again", users who installed the security update while running the older 10.13.0 version of the High Sierra operating system rather than the then-newest 10.13.1 release experienced that the "root" security vulnerability was re-introduced, and persisted even after fully updating their systems.
Meski berjanji akan "mengaudit proses pengembangan demi mencegah terulangnya masalah", pengguna yang memasang pemutakhiran keamanan di sistem operasi High Sierra versi 10.13.0 merasa celah keamanan "root" muncul kembali dan bertahan meski sudah memutakhirkan seluruh sistem operasinya.
