Waves Central
Monthly
Local privilege escalation in Waves Central for macOS versions 13.0.9 through 16.5.5 allows an unprivileged user to gain root code execution by injecting a malicious dylib into a trusted XPC client process via DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES. The injected code then abuses the product's privileged helper service to perform operations as root. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and EPSS probability is very low (0.02%), consistent with a local-only macOS desktop attack surface.
