Screen capture via mishandled temporary files
Published Mar 8, 2024 · Updated Apr 2, 2026
Information disclosure in Screen Capture in Apple macOS before 14.4 allows local users to capture a user's screen through an app. Apple states that Screen Capture mishandles temporary files but does not identify the file path, API, or unsafe operation that exposes screen contents. Successful exploitation requires a user to run the app; the documented consequence is screen-content capture without integrity or availability impact.
