CVE-2025-5995

Code execution via improperly writable directory

Published Jun 26, 2025 · Updated Jun 26, 2025

Improper directory permissions in Canon EOS Webcam Utility Pro for macOS 2.3d (2.3.29) and earlier allow local users to execute code. The product assigns insufficiently restrictive permissions to an unspecified directory, permitting an administrator to modify its contents; Canon does not identify the directory, permission mode, or code-loading path. Administrator access is required; successful exploitation results in code execution and privilege escalation.
