Sensitive data exposure via malicious HTTPS proxy
Published Mar 31, 2025 · Updated Jul 9, 2026
Information disclosure in Apple macOS allows local users to read sensitive data through a malicious app acting as an HTTPS proxy. The Security component applies insufficient access restrictions when the app proxies HTTPS traffic, but Apple has not disclosed the specific authorization check or data path involved. Execution of a malicious local app and its placement in the HTTPS proxy path are required; the reported consequence is read access to sensitive user data.
