CVE-2023-25953

Full Disk Access bypass via process code injection

Published May 23, 2023 · Updated Jan 17, 2025

Code injection in LINE WORKS Drive Explorer for macOS 3.5.4 and earlier allows local users to execute arbitrary code in its process. The public advisory does not identify the affected component or disclose which operation accepts attacker-controlled code. Access to a local account is required; injected code inherits the application's Full Disk Access and can read or write files otherwise inaccessible to the attacker.
