The weakness is a missing authorization check that could lead to unauthorized access to privacy-controlled information. This issue could allow an attacker to read or modify user data that should be protected by the system's privacy controls.", "risk_and_exploitability": "The CVSS score of 4.4 indicates moderate severity, while an EPSS score of less than 1% suggests a very low probability of exploitation at the time of this analysis. The flaw is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog.

This inference is based on the description of sandbox restrictions and the nature of the vulnerability."}}}}, "created": "2026-04-28T04:00:05.420951+00:00", "title": "macOS Application Bypass of Privacy Preferences via Missing Authorization", "updated": "2026-04-28T04:00:05.420965+00:00", "vendors": []}
