CVE-2025-43192Network attack vector

User Enrollment bypass via insufficient Lockdown restrictions

Published Jul 29, 2025 · Updated Apr 2, 2026

Improper access control in Managed Configuration in Apple macOS Sonoma before 14.7.7 and Sequoia before 15.6 allows attackers to enroll. Managed Configuration applies insufficient restrictions to account-driven User Enrollment requests while Lockdown Mode is active. The path requires sign-in with an organization-created or federated Managed Apple Account, and enrollment permits limited management of organizational accounts, settings, and data on the Mac.
