Ntfs For Mac
Monthly
Local privilege escalation in iBoysoft NTFS for Mac 8.0.0 allows authenticated macOS users to gain root access through the ntfshelperd privileged helper daemon. The daemon exposes an unauthenticated NSConnection service running as root, enabling any local user with standard privileges to communicate directly with the root-level service and execute privileged operations. EPSS probability is very low (0.02%, 6th percentile) with no confirmed active exploitation or public POC at time of analysis, suggesting limited real-world targeting despite high technical severity.
