Lifecycle Timeline
4DescriptionCVE.org
A path handling issue was addressed with improved validation. 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 delete files for which it does not have permission.
AnalysisAI
Unauthorized file deletion in macOS Sequoia, Sonoma, and Tahoe allows unprivileged applications to delete files without proper permissions due to insufficient path validation. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability through a malicious app to remove sensitive files outside the application's intended scope. This medium-severity local vulnerability affects multiple recent macOS versions and currently has no available patch.
Technical ContextAI
The vulnerability stems from insufficient validation in macOS path handling mechanisms, classified as a path traversal or authorization bypass issue. The affected technology spans the core macOS file system permission enforcement layer across multiple major versions (Sequoia 15.x, Sonoma 14.x, and the upcoming Tahoe 26.x release, as indicated by CPE cpe:2.3:a:apple:macos:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*). The root cause involves inadequate validation of file paths before deletion operations, allowing applications to bypass the discretionary access control (DAC) checks that normally prevent unprivileged processes from deleting files owned by other users or the system. This is fundamentally an authorization/privilege management failure in the file system interaction layer.
RemediationAI
Immediately update macOS Sequoia to version 15.7.5 or later, macOS Sonoma to version 14.8.5 or later, or macOS Tahoe to version 26.4 or later using System Settings > General > Software Update. Users unable to patch immediately should restrict untrusted application installations, monitor file system access logs via System Preferences, and consider implementing additional endpoint detection and response (EDR) tools to alert on suspicious file deletion patterns. Organizations should prioritize this patch given the severity of unauthorized file deletion and deploy updates across all affected systems within their standard critical patch windows.
