A permissions issue was addressed with additional restrictions. 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 protected user data.
AnalysisAI
A permissions enforcement vulnerability in macOS allows applications to bypass security restrictions and access protected user data due to insufficient authorization checks. This issue affects macOS Sequoia (prior to 15.7.5), macOS Sonoma (prior to 14.8.5), and macOS Tahoe (prior to 26.4). An attacker with the ability to execute an application on the affected system could potentially access sensitive user information without proper user consent or authorization. No CVSS score, EPSS data, or active exploitation in the wild (KEV status) has been disclosed by Apple.
Technical ContextAI
This vulnerability stems from a permissions and access control issue within the macOS operating system, classified as an information disclosure weakness. The root cause involves insufficient enforcement of user data protection mechanisms, allowing applications to circumvent the permission boundaries that normally restrict access to sensitive user files and information. The affected product is the Apple macOS operating system across multiple major versions (Sequoia 15.x, Sonoma 14.x, and Tahoe 26.x), as indicated by CPE identifiers matching 'cpe:2.3:a:apple:macos'. Rather than a specific vulnerable library or protocol, this represents a system-level authorization control defect where the OS kernel or system frameworks fail to properly validate application entitlements before granting access to protected data categories such as contacts, photos, location, health data, or other privacy-sensitive information.
RemediationAI
Immediately apply the latest security updates provided by Apple: upgrade macOS Sequoia to version 15.7.5 or later, upgrade macOS Sonoma to version 14.8.5 or later, or upgrade macOS Tahoe to version 26.4 or later. Users should check System Preferences > General > Software Update to download and install the latest patches, which require a system restart. For organizations, deploy these updates through Mobile Device Management (MDM) or macOS security update tools to ensure rapid deployment across all systems. As a temporary mitigation prior to patching, restrict user permissions to install untrusted applications, disable third-party app installation, and enable Gatekeeper and XProtect settings to prevent execution of potentially malicious applications.
