Sensitive-data access via StorageKit race condition
Published Mar 31, 2025 · Updated Jun 18, 2026
Race condition in StorageKit in Apple macOS Ventura, Sonoma, and Sequoia allows local apps to access sensitive user data. StorageKit performs insufficient validation during a concurrent operation, but Apple has not disclosed the shared resource or exact validation gap. Exploitation requires local app execution, high-complexity timing, and user interaction; the reported consequence is limited to reading user-sensitive data.
