Published Mar 10, 2025 · Updated Apr 2, 2026
Information disclosure in Apple macOS before 15 allows local users to access sensitive user data through a malicious app. The Maps component inadequately redacts sensitive information before making data available to applications. Exploitation requires user interaction with a locally executing app and exposes data without enabling modification or service interruption.
