CVE-2025-24207

iCloud Storage Enablement Without Consent via macOS Permissions Flaw

Published Mar 31, 2025 CVSS 3.1 · 9.8 Critical EPSS 1.1% KEV · Not listed

Description

A permissions issue was addressed with additional restrictions. This issue is fixed in macOS Sequoia 15.4, macOS Sonoma 14.7.5, macOS Ventura 13.7.5. An app may be able to enable iCloud storage features without user consent.

Analysis

Technical impact

A permission flaw in macOS allows an application to enable iCloud storage features without the user’s consent, effectively bypassing the intended access control. The weakness is a Wrong Access Control (CWE‑276). This could let a malicious or compromised app store data in the user’s iCloud account without authorization, exposing personal information and undermining privacy.

Affected Systems

Apple macOS products are affected. The vulnerability is fixed in macOS Sequoia 15.4, macOS Sonoma 14.7.5, and macOS Ventura 13.7.5. Any earlier releases remain vulnerable.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 9.8 signals a critical level of risk and a high potential impact. The EPSS score of less than 1% indicates a very low current likelihood of exploitation, and the issue is not yet listed in the CISA KEV catalog. The likely attack vector is local: an application that runs on the affected macOS system can trigger the iCloud storage feature without prompting the user. No evidence is provided that remote exploitation is possible, but the flaw runs with the permissions of the executing application, making it a serious concern for any app that is installed or downloaded.

Affected Products

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