Sensitive data access via missing consent prompt
Published Jun 10, 2024 · Updated Apr 2, 2026
Improper access control in TCC in Apple macOS before 14.4 allows attackers to access user-sensitive data through a local app. TCC fails to obtain an additional user-consent decision before the app receives protected data; Apple has not disclosed the specific API or data class involved. Exploitation requires local app execution and user interaction, and the published impact is confined to data access without integrity or availability effects.
