CVE-2026-45647 Jun 09, 17:17 HIGH PATCH Exploit Unlikely This Week

Local privilege escalation in Microsoft Defender for Endpoint for Mac (versions 101.0.0 through 101.26042.0010) allows an authenticated local attacker to win a time-of-check/time-of-use race and gain elevated privileges on the host. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and EPSS is very low (0.05%), but SSVC rates technical impact as 'total' because successful exploitation yields full compromise of the endpoint security agent.

CVE-2026-54123 Aug 11, 17:18 MEDIUM PATCH Exploit Unlikely This Month

Microsoft Defender for Endpoint for Mac exposes sensitive information to low-privileged local users due to a CWE-200 access control failure in versions below 101.26042.0020. A locally authenticated attacker with standard user privileges can access high-confidentiality data handled by the endpoint agent - without any user interaction - making this an insider-threat and post-compromise escalation risk. No public exploit code or active exploitation (CISA KEV) has been identified at time of analysis; a vendor patch is available.
