AI Analysis

Impact

This vulnerability arises from insufficient entitlement checks in the macOS operating system, allowing an application to access user‑sensitive data that it should not be authorized to read. The weakness is an Access Control flaw (CWE‑284), and an attacker could exploit it to compromise the confidentiality of protected information.

Affected Systems

Apple macOS is affected. The issue was fixed in macOS Sequoia 15.7.2, macOS Sonoma 14.8.2, and macOS Tahoe 26.1, so any earlier or unpatched releases may remain vulnerable.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 5.5 indicates a medium severity impact, and the EPSS score of less than 1% suggests a low probability of exploitation. The vulnerability is not listed in CISA’s KEV catalog. Based on the description, it is inferred that an application running on the device can exploit the missing entitlement checks, implying a local attack vector that does not require network access or elevated system privileges beyond the application's signed entitlement.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Install the latest macOS update that includes the entitlement fix (macOS Sequoia 15.7.2, macOS Sonoma 14.8.2, or macOS Tahoe 26.1 or later).
  • Ensure that all installed applications are acquired from trusted sources and only request the entitlements they truly need.
  • Use System Settings → Security & Privacy → App Permissions to review and restrict apps' access to sensitive data until a patch is applied.
