MITRE ATT&CK

1 technique across 1 tactic: Defense Evasion

The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up.

Exploitation Conditions

The attacker must have an app installed on the victim's device, and the app must be opened by the user (user interaction required). The vulnerability is exploitable only locally (AV:L) - no network exploitation is possible. No authentication is required (PR:N), but the local access and user interaction limit the attack surface. The vulnerability affects default configurations of iOS/iPadOS and macOS.

Impact

CVSS base score 5.5 (Medium) indicates limited risk due to local attack vector, low complexity, and requirement for user interaction. EPSS score is 0.16% (low exploitation probability), and there is no CISA KEV listing or public exploit code. The vulnerability is a moderate priority for environments where untrusted apps are installed on user devices, but the low EPSS and lack of active exploitation suggest it is not an urgent threat. No conflicting signals exist; the data is consistent with a locally exploitable information disclosure.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker distributes a malicious app through the App Store or via sideloading. Once installed, the user inadvertently opens the app, which then exploits the missing entitlement checks to read sensitive data such as contacts or messages from the device's storage. No public exploit code is known at this time.

AnalysisAIv1 – Jul 28, 2026

Local information disclosure in Apple iOS and iPadOS 26.6 and earlier, as well as multiple macOS versions, allows an app to leak sensitive user data due to missing entitlement checks. The vulnerability requires user interaction and local access, but has low exploitation probability (EPSS 0.16%) and no known public exploits or active exploitation per CISA KEV.

RemediationAI

Apply the vendor-released patches: update iOS and iPadOS to version 26.6, macOS Sequoia to 15.7.8, macOS Sonoma to 14.8.8, and macOS Tahoe to 26.6. No workarounds are documented; installing the updates is the sole remediation.

Technical ContextAI · show details

The vulnerability stems from improper authorization (CWE-285) in Apple's entitlement system, which normally enforces sandbox restrictions and permission controls for apps. CPE data confirms affected products include iOS/iPadOS (versions below 26.6) and macOS (Sequoia <15.7.8, Sonoma <14.8.8, Tahoe <26.6). An app lacking proper entitlements can bypass checks and access sensitive user information that should be protected.
