CVE-2025-24172

Published Mar 31, 2025 CVSS 3.1 · 9.8 Critical EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed

Description

A permissions issue was addressed with additional sandbox restrictions. This issue is fixed in macOS Sequoia 15.4, macOS Sonoma 14.7.5, macOS Ventura 13.7.5. "Block All Remote Content" may not apply for all mail previews.

Analysis

Technical impact

A permissions flaw in macOS prevents the sandbox from adequately restricting when remote content is rendered in email previews. Because the “Block All Remote Content” setting may not apply consistently, an attacker can cause arbitrary web resources to be fetched without user consent, potentially leaking sensitive information or delivering malicious payloads via the mail preview mechanism.

Affected Systems

Apple macOS users on versions prior to Sequoia 15.4, Sonoma 14.7.5, or Ventura 13.7.5 are affected. The vulnerability has been remedied in those releases.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 9.8 signals a high‑severity flaw, yet the EPSS score is under 1%, indicating a low current exploitation probability. The issue is not yet listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Attackers would likely target mail clients through crafted messages that trigger preview rendering; given the severity and the unrestricted permission nature, the remote content exposure could aid further attacks such as phishing or data exfiltration.

Affected Products

Default status is the baseline for the product, each version can override it (e.g. patched versions marked unaffected).

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

Install the latest macOS update: Sequoia 15.4, Sonoma 14.7.5 or Ventura 13.7.5 to receive the sandbox restriction fix.
If updating immediately is not possible, disable or restrict mail preview functionality or enable the “Block All Remote Content” preference to prevent automatic rendering of external resources.
Verify that any third‑party mail clients or extensions are updated and enforce proper sandbox permissions to avoid granting elevated access to remote content.
