DescriptionCVE.org

A privacy issue was addressed with improved handling of temporary files. This issue is fixed in macOS Tahoe 26.4. A document may be written to a temporary file when using print preview.

AnalysisAI

A privacy vulnerability in macOS Tahoe allows documents to be inadvertently written to temporary files during print preview operations, potentially exposing sensitive information to unauthorized access. This affects macOS versions prior to 26.4. An attacker with local file system access could retrieve unencrypted documents from temporary storage, circumventing user expectations of privacy during print operations.

Technical ContextAI

The vulnerability stems from improper handling of temporary files in the macOS print preview functionality. When users invoke print preview on documents, the system creates temporary copies to render the print layout. The root cause relates to insufficient access controls and secure deletion mechanisms for these temporary files (CWE category: Information Disclosure through insecure temporary file handling). The affected product is Apple macOS across multiple versions prior to Tahoe 26.4, as identified by the CPE cpe:2.3:a:apple:macos:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* notation. The vulnerability manifests in the document handling and printing subsystems rather than network-facing components.

RemediationAI

Update macOS to version Tahoe 26.4 or later immediately, following Apple's official guidance at https://support.apple.com/en-us/126794. Until patching is completed, users should avoid printing sensitive documents to preview mode and instead print directly, monitor temporary file directories (/var/tmp, /tmp) for unexpected document copies using file integrity monitoring tools, and restrict local user account access via strong authentication and principle of least privilege. Organizations should prioritize this patch for systems handling confidential or regulated information.
