CVE-2026-11970

Local DLP bypass via SafariExtension disablement

Published Aug 13, 2026 · Updated Aug 13, 2026

Improper exceptional-condition handling in Forcepoint F1E mac before 26.04.5758 allows local users to disable SafariExtension DLP protection. Forcepoint identifies SafariExtension as the affected module but has not published the code-level exceptional condition or check that permits disablement. A non-admin local account is sufficient, and successful disablement leaves Safari activity outside the endpoint's DLP enforcement.
