The issue applies to macOS instances where applications have read access to system logs that contain contact data.", "description_and_impact": "A privacy flaw in macOS prevents proper redaction of personal data when log entries are generated. As a result, an application can inadvertently read contact information from system logs, exposing sensitive user data. The weakness is fundamentally an access control issue, aligning with CWE\u2011284, and could allow a malicious or poorly coded app to retrieve addresses, phone numbers, and other contact details from logs.", "risk_and_exploitability": "The CVSS score of 5.5 indicates moderate severity, and the EPSS figure of less than 1% suggests a low likelihood of exploitation. Based on the description, it is inferred that the attack vector involves a local application accessing system logs. Because the vulnerability appears to depend on an application reading system logs, the most probable attack vector is local or via a compromised app that runs with the user\u2019s privileges. The vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV database, meaning no confirmed large\u2011scale exploits are known at this time."}}}}, "created": "2026-04-28T11:45:30.246972+00:00", "title": "Improper Sanitization of Contact Data in macOS Log Entries", "updated": "2026-04-28T11:45:30.246983+00:00", "vendors": []}
