DescriptionCVE.org

This issue was addressed through improved state management. This issue is fixed in macOS Sequoia 15.7.5, macOS Sonoma 14.8.5, macOS Tahoe 26.4. An attacker with root privileges may be able to delete protected system files.

AnalysisAI

Protected system files on macOS (Sequoia 15.7.5, Sonoma 14.8.5, and Tahoe 26.4) can be deleted by attackers with root privileges due to improper state management. This integrity-impacting vulnerability affects administrators and privileged users who could leverage elevated access to remove critical system components. No patch is currently available for this medium-severity issue.

Technical ContextAI

The vulnerability stems from inadequate state management in macOS kernel or system file protection mechanisms (likely involving System Integrity Protection or similar file access controls). The root cause falls within improper authorization and access control handling, affecting the macOS operating system across multiple versions as identified by CPE specification cpe:2.3:a:apple:macos. The flaw allows bypass of file deletion protections that are intended to safeguard critical system files, indicating a logic error in the state validation logic that gates protected file operations.

RemediationAI

Immediately apply the latest security updates: upgrade macOS Sequoia to 15.7.5 or later, macOS Sonoma to 14.8.5 or later, or macOS Tahoe to 26.4 or later via System Preferences > General > Software Update. Organizations should enforce mandatory security update deployment across all macOS systems and verify completion before the next threat window. As a compensating control, restrict root-level access through sudo policies, enforce multi-factor authentication for administrative accounts, and monitor system logs for unauthorized file deletion attempts. Consult Apple's official security advisories at the provided links for platform-specific patching guidance.
