Sensitive location disclosure via unsanitized logging
Published Jan 27, 2025 · Updated Jun 3, 2026
Information disclosure in Apple macOS Sonoma before 14.7.2 and Sequoia before 15.2 allows attackers to read sensitive location data via an app. The location-service component places sensitive location information in inadequately sanitized log entries, making the data readable to another application. Exploitation requires local application execution and user interaction; the reported consequence is location-data disclosure without integrity or availability impact.
