DescriptionCVE.org

This issue was addressed with improved checks. This issue is fixed in macOS Tahoe 26.5. An attacker with physical access to a locked device may be able to view sensitive user information.

AnalysisAI

Physical access to a locked macOS Tahoe device prior to version 26.5 allows an attacker to view sensitive user information without authentication. The vulnerability has a low EPSS score (0.02%, 6th percentile) and CISA assesses it as non-exploitable in the wild (SSVC exploitation: none), indicating this is a low-probability real-world threat despite the confidentiality impact rating. The fix is available in macOS Tahoe 26.5.

Technical ContextAI

This vulnerability exists in macOS Tahoe's information protection mechanisms for locked devices, classified under CWE-522 (Insufficiently Protected Credentials). The vulnerability allows disclosure of sensitive user information when an attacker has direct physical access to the hardware. The affected CPE string (cpe:2.3:a:apple:macos:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*) indicates all macOS versions before 26.5 are potentially vulnerable. The low EPSS score and SSVC determination that automation is not feasible suggest the attack requires deliberate interaction with the locked device's interface rather than a remotely triggered flaw.

RemediationAI

Upgrade to macOS Tahoe 26.5 or later to remediate the vulnerability; this is the vendor-released patch confirmed in the macOS Tahoe 26.5 release notes. Users unable to immediately upgrade should implement physical security controls such as storing locked devices in secure locations, enabling additional authentication mechanisms (biometric re-authentication after lock), or using full-disk encryption with secure boot attestation. The trade-off of the latter is increased user friction on legitimate unlock attempts. Review and strengthen physical access controls for any environments handling sensitive data on macOS devices, as this vulnerability requires direct device access to exploit.
