A logic flaw in macOS state management permits an attacker to gain access to protected parts of the file system, allowing the reading or modification of data that should be isolated from the attacker.

Apple macOS releases older than Sequoia 15.5, Sonoma 14.7.6, and Ventura 13.7.6 are affected; those older versions are at risk until updated to the stated fixed releases.

The CVSS score of 7.5 indicates high severity, yet the EPSS score of <1% signals a low but non‑zero chance of exploitation. The vulnerability is not catalogued in CISA KEV and no public exploits have been reported. The attack vector is inferred to be local or remote, depending on how the logic flaw is triggered, but the CVE description does not specify the precise exploitation path.
