DescriptionCVE.org

An information leakage was addressed with additional validation. This issue is fixed in macOS Sequoia 15.7.8, macOS Sonoma 14.8.8, macOS Tahoe 26.6. An app may be able to disclose kernel memory.

AnalysisAI

A malicious app on macOS can read kernel memory due to insufficient validation. This information disclosure vulnerability is fixed in macOS Sequoia 15.7.8, macOS Sonoma 14.8.8, and macOS Tahoe 26.6. No active exploitation or public exploit code has been identified, and the EPSS score is very low (0.16%).

Technical ContextAI

The flaw resides in the macOS kernel memory management subsystem, where an application can trigger the exposure of kernel memory because of missing validation checks. This is classified under CWE-200 (Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor). Apple addressed the issue by adding further validation. The affected CPE (cpe:2.3:a:apple:macos) covers all macOS versions prior to the patched releases. The kernel is a core OS component handling system calls and memory mapping; insufficient bounds or access checks in such handling can leak sensitive data to user space.

RemediationAI

Upgrade to macOS Sequoia 15.7.8, macOS Sonoma 14.8.8, or macOS Tahoe 26.6 or later, as detailed in the Apple security advisories. If immediate patching is not possible, limit execution of unverified applications and rely on macOS Gatekeeper and notarization checks to block unknown malicious apps. The primary and only complete remediation is the official update.
