AnalysisAIv1 – Sep 16, 2026

A local sandbox-escape flaw in Apple macOS (CWE-284, improper access control via faulty state management) allows a malicious application to break out of its App Sandbox and operate outside the restricted environment it was granted. Affected versions are macOS Sequoia before 15.8, macOS Tahoe before 26.7, and macOS Golden Gate before 27, with Apple shipping fixes in all three (support.apple.com advisories 149035, 149042, 149043). CVSS 3.1 rates it 8.2 (AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:N), but EPSS is only 0.19% (9th percentile), there is no CISA KEV listing, and no public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis — so this is a high-severity, low-current-activity issue whose priority is driven by the App Sandbox being a core macOS security boundary rather than by observed exploitation.
