A permissions issue was addressed with additional restrictions. This issue is fixed in macOS Golden Gate 27. An app may be able to modify Privacy preferences.
AnalysisAI
Apps already running on macOS versions prior to Golden Gate 27 can modify Privacy (TCC) preferences they are not authorized to change, letting a malicious app grant itself access to consent-gated resources such as the camera, microphone, or other protected data without ever prompting the user. The root cause is an incorrect-authorization weakness (CWE-863) that Apple addressed by adding restrictions to the permission check, so exploitation is not remote: the attacker must first deliver and run code on the host (AV:L, PR:L, UI:N), making this primarily a post-compromise, integrity-only escalation of an app's privacy privileges (C:N/I:H/A:N). …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Requires the attacker to already be executing code as an app on the target macOS system (local access, AV:L, PR:L) - there is no remote or network exploitation path. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | This is a genuine but locally-scoped authorization flaw (CWE-863) in macOS: an already-running app can modify Privacy (TCC) preferences it should not control, effectively granting itself access to protected resources. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in. |
| Remediation | Vendor-released patch: macOS Golden Gate 27 (version 27), detailed in Apple's advisory at https://support.apple.com/en-us/149035 - upgrading is the only complete fix, since the defect is in the OS's own authorization logic and no standalone patch or Apple-provided workaround is described. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
