Local sensitive user data disclosure
Published Dec 12, 2025 · Updated Dec 12, 2025
Information disclosure in Apple's macOS Sequoia before 15.7.3 or Tahoe before 26.2 allows local users to read sensitive data through a local app. Apple identifies a permissions issue in AppleMobileFileIntegrity but has not disclosed the failed permission check or improperly exposed resource. Exploitation requires user interaction with a local app, and the reported impact is limited to reading data rather than modifying it or interrupting the system.
