CVE-2022-32896

Sensitive information disclosure via unhardened iMovie runtime

Published Feb 27, 2023 · Updated Mar 12, 2025

Information disclosure in iMovie in Apple macOS Big Sur before 11.7 and Monterey before 12.6 allows local users to view sensitive data. The iMovie executable lacks the hardened-runtime code-signing protection, leaving user-sensitive information exposed during local app use. Exploitation requires local user access and has no reported ability to modify data, gain privileges, or interrupt service.
