Location disclosure via Weather state-management error
Published Nov 1, 2022 · Updated May 6, 2025
Weather information disclosure in macOS Big Sur before 11.7, Monterey before 12.6, and watchOS before 9 allows attackers to read location data. Apple identifies a state-management logic error in Weather but has not disclosed the affected code path or incorrect state transition. Exploitation requires a locally executing low-privilege app and user interaction; the reported consequence is location-data disclosure only.
