Sensitive log disclosure via inadequate data redaction
Published Mar 8, 2024 · Updated Apr 2, 2026
Information disclosure in MediaRemote in Apple macOS before 14.4 allows context-dependent attackers to read user-sensitive data from log entries. MediaRemote writes log entries without adequately redacting private data, leaving sensitive values accessible to another app. Exploitation requires an app to execute locally and obtain the affected logs; the documented consequence is disclosure without alteration or service interruption.
