What it is about

Apple macOS ist ein Betriebssystem, das auf FreeBSD und Mach basiert. Ein Angreifer kann mehrere Schwachstellen in Apple macOS ausnutzen, um Sicherheitsvorkehrungen zu umgehen, um einen Denial of Service Angriff durchzuführen, um Informationen offenzulegen, um Dateien zu manipulieren, und um seine Privilegien zu erhöhen.

Under what conditions?

The BSI does not name any particular preconditions. Exploitable remotely according to the BSI.

What can happen in the worst case

An attacker could use the vulnerability to

  • Sicherheitsvorkehrungen zu umgehen
  • einen Denial of Service Angriff durchzuführen
  • Informationen offenzulegen
  • Dateien zu manipulieren
  • seine Privilegien zu erhöhen

Am I affected?

Affected according to the BSI:

  • Apple macOS Sonoma <14.8.5
  • Apple macOS Sequoia <15.7.5
  • Apple macOS Tahoe <26.4

The installed version is usually shown under “Help → About” or in the device’s admin interface.

What helps?

Update to at least:

  • Apple macOS Sonoma 14.8.5
  • Apple macOS Sequoia 15.7.5
  • Apple macOS Tahoe 26.4

Is the vulnerability already being exploited?

None of the CVEs is in the CISA catalogue of exploited vulnerabilities. That does not mean there are no attacks, only that none are documented.
