Private information disclosure via undisclosed CoreServices logic
Published Sep 15, 2025 · Updated Sep 15, 2025
Information disclosure in Apple macOS Sonoma before 14.8, Sequoia before 15.7, and Tahoe before 26 allows local users to access private information. CoreServices performs an undisclosed incorrect logic operation when a malicious app requests private data; Apple has not published the specific check or data path. Local execution of the malicious app and user interaction are required, and the reported consequence is read-only disclosure with no integrity or availability impact.
