CVE-2025-7961Public exploit

TCC bypass via enabled Electron Node execution

Published Aug 15, 2025 · Updated Aug 15, 2025

Code injection in Wulkano Kap 3.6.0 for macOS allows local users to bypass TCC and capture audio or video without consent. The packaged Electron runtime leaves Node execution paths enabled, so ELECTRON_RUN_AS_NODE or --inspect accepts attacker-controlled code in Kap's trusted context. Local low-privileged access is required; successful exploitation inherits Kap's existing screen and microphone permissions.
