AI Analysis

Impact

An application running on macOS could read sensitive user data before a recent security improvement was deployed. The flaw results in a data‑exposure weakness (CWE-200) that allows an app to access data it should not be able to see. The problem has been mitigated in recent releases of macOS, but prior versions could still allow unauthorized data access.

Affected Systems

Apple’s macOS operating system is affected, specifically any release before macOS Sequoia 15.6 or macOS Sonoma 14.7.7. Users with earlier versions of the operating system are at risk of having apps read confidential data they should not access.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 5.5 indicates moderate severity, and the EPSS score of less than 1% suggests a low likelihood of exploitation at this time. The vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Based on the description, the attack vector is likely local or macOS app‑install related, and would require the attacker to install or run a compromised application on the affected system to read protected data.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade macOS to at least Sequoia 15.6 or Sonoma 14.7.7, which includes the security fix.
  • If an immediate upgrade is not possible, restrict the affected application’s permissions through System Settings > Privacy to prevent it from accessing sensitive data.
  • Monitor system logs for anomalous data‑access activity and contact Apple support if unauthorized reads are detected.
