Lifecycle Timeline

An authorization issue was addressed with improved state management. This issue is fixed in macOS Sequoia 15.7.5, macOS Sonoma 14.8.5, macOS Tahoe 26.4. An app may be able to access sensitive user data.
AnalysisAI
An authorization flaw in macOS allows applications to bypass state management controls and access sensitive user data without proper authorization. The vulnerability affects macOS Sequoia 15.7.4 and earlier, macOS Sonoma 14.8.4 and earlier, and macOS Tahoe 26.3 and earlier. While no CVSS score, EPSS data, or public exploit code is currently available, Apple has silently patched this issue across three major macOS versions, suggesting it posed a meaningful risk to user privacy and data confidentiality.
Technical ContextAI
This vulnerability represents a state management authorization bypass in Apple's macOS operating system (CPE: cpe:2.3:a:apple:macos). The root cause involves improper authorization checks when applications attempt to access sensitive user data—likely related to user defaults, keychain data, location services, contacts, or other protected resources governed by macOS's privacy frameworks. Rather than stemming from a specific CWE designation (not disclosed by Apple), the issue appears to fall under the authorization/authentication defect category, where state transitions are not properly validated before granting access. Apple's fix emphasizes 'improved state management,' indicating the patches enforce stricter state validation before privileged data access is permitted.
RemediationAI
Users and organizations must upgrade immediately to the patched versions: macOS Sequoia 15.7.5 or later, macOS Sonoma 14.8.4 or later, or macOS Tahoe 26.4 or later. Enable automatic OS updates in System Settings > General > Software Update to receive future patches promptly. Until patching is complete, restrict the installation of untrusted third-party applications, particularly those requesting broad privacy permissions (keychain, location, contacts, calendar). Review System Preferences > Security & Privacy to audit which apps have been granted sensitive access and revoke permissions from unnecessary applications. Consult Apple's official security advisories at https://support.apple.com/en-us/126794, https://support.apple.com/en-us/126795, and https://support.apple.com/en-us/126796 for additional guidance.
