DescriptionNVD

An access issue was addressed with additional sandbox restrictions on the system pasteboards. This issue is fixed in macOS Golden Gate 27. An app may be able to access sensitive user data.

AnalysisAI

Local information disclosure in Apple macOS before Golden Gate 27 allows an installed app to bypass system pasteboard sandbox restrictions and read sensitive pasteboard data, resulting in confidentiality impact only. The flaw is not remotely exploitable; it requires attacker-controlled code already running locally, typically a malicious or compromised app that the user has installed and launched. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires attacker-controlled code already executing locally on the macOS host - specifically an app that the user has installed and run - which then abuses insufficient sandbox restrictions on system pasteboards to read data it should not access. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The vendor CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N = 5.5 Medium) describes a locally-exploitable authorization/sandbox flaw: a malicious or compromised app on macOS can read system pasteboard contents that should be off-limits, yielding confidentiality impact only (I:N/A:N). … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in.
Remediation Vendor-released patch: macOS Golden Gate 27. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
