CVE-2025-30451

macOS Redaction Bug Exposing Sensitive User Data

Published Mar 31, 2025 CVSS 3.1 · 5.5 Medium EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed

Description

This issue was addressed with improved redaction of sensitive information. This issue is fixed in macOS Sequoia 15.4. An app may be able to access sensitive user data.

Analysis

Technical impact

A defect in macOS’s handling of sensitive information allows an application to read data that should have been obscured, resulting in inadvertent disclosure of private user data (CWE‑200).

Affected Systems

Apple macOS versions prior to Sequoia 15.4 are potentially impacted; the issue is fixed in Sequoia 15.4 and later releases.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 5.5 indicates moderate severity, but the EPSS score of less than 1% suggests exploitation is unlikely at this time, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Attackers would need to execute or otherwise manipulate a local application to access the exposed data. Based on the description, it is inferred that the attack vector is local and depends on third‑party application behavior.

Affected Products

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