CVE-2022-46703

Sensitive location disclosure via insufficient Weather restrictions

Published Apr 10, 2023 · Updated Feb 11, 2025

Information disclosure in Apple macOS Ventura before 13.1 and Monterey before 12.6.2 allows local users to read location data through an app. The Weather component applies insufficient restrictions when handling location data, but Apple has not disclosed the affected operation or data path. Execution of an app by a local user is required; the reported consequence is read-only exposure of location data, with no integrity or availability impact.
