This issue was addressed with improved input validation. This issue is fixed in macOS Sequoia 15.7.8, macOS Sonoma 14.8.8, macOS Tahoe 26.6. A remote attacker may be able to cause a denial of service.
AnalysisAI
Remote denial-of-service in Apple macOS versions prior to Sequoia 15.7.8, Sonoma 14.8.8, and Tahoe 26.6 allows unauthenticated attackers to disrupt system availability through an input validation weakness. No active exploitation or public exploit code has been identified; EPSS indicates low probability of widespread attacks.
Technical ContextAI
The vulnerability stems from improper input validation (CWE-20) in an unspecified macOS component that processes network input. The affected product, identified by CPE cpe:2.3:a:apple:macos:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*, lacks sufficient checks on incoming data, allowing a remote attacker to cause a denial of service. The exact protocol or service is not disclosed, but the CVSS vector confirms full network reachability with no authentication required.
RemediationAI
Update to macOS Sequoia 15.7.8, macOS Sonoma 14.8.8, or macOS Tahoe 26.6 as detailed in Apple security advisories HT128067, HT128071, and HT128072. No workarounds are available.
