Location disclosure via insufficient TCC restrictions
Published Jun 23, 2023 · Updated Dec 5, 2024
Information disclosure in macOS Big Sur before 11.7.2, Monterey before 12.6.2, or Ventura before 13.1 lets local users read location data. The TCC subsystem applies insufficient restrictions when an app requests protected location information; Apple has not disclosed the faulty code path. Exploitation requires a local user to run an app, and the bounded consequence is disclosure of sensitive location information without data modification or service interruption.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.

Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
- Affected versionversion=unspecified <11.7
- Affected versionversion=unspecified <12.6
- Affected versionversion=unspecified <13.1
