01

What, why and how

A privacy issue was addressed with improved private data redaction for log entries. This issue is fixed in macOS Sequoia 15.2. An app may be able to access user-sensitive data.

What

A privacy issue was addressed with improved private data redaction for log entries. This issue is fixed in macOS Sequoia 15.2. An app may be able to access user-sensitive data.

Why

The product stores sensitive information without properly limiting read or write access by unauthorized actors.

How

An attacker operating through local access may attempt exploitation with low privileges. If successful, the issue may cause the confidentiality, integrity or availability impact described by the vendor.

02

Exploit reality and attack path

CVSS severity, EPSS forecast probability, public exploit material and CISA-confirmed exploitation are separate signals.

Observed exploitation
?Confirmed exploitation and public exploit material are separate signals. Attacks can occur without public proof-of-concept or exploit code.
No confirmed evidence

No CISA KEV match was present at the last successful refresh. This means no confirmation from that source, not proof of no exploitation.

Public PoC / exploit material
?Confirmed exploitation and public exploit material are separate signals. Attacks can occur without public proof-of-concept or exploit code.
None recorded

No exploit-tagged reference or CISA SSVC proof-of-concept state is currently recorded. Research may still exist outside the structured feeds.

Weakness
?CWE means Common Weakness Enumeration: a standard category for the underlying weakness.
CWE-922 ↗

CWE-922: Insecure Storage of Sensitive Information. The product stores sensitive information without properly limiting read or write access by unauthorized actors.

CVSS vector
?CVSS means Common Vulnerability Scoring System. The vector records the metric values used to calculate technical severity.
CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N

Common Vulnerability Scoring System 3.1: the compact vector below is decoded into plain language.

AVLocalAttack vector: The attacker needs local access to the vulnerable system.ACLowAttack complexity: No specialised conditions are required beyond attacker-controlled input.PRLowPrivileges required: The attacker needs basic user-level privileges.UINoneUser interaction: No action by another user is required.SUnchangedScope: The security impact remains within the vulnerable component's authority.CHighConfidentiality impact: A successful attack can cause a major loss.INoneIntegrity impact: No direct loss is represented by this metric.ANoneAvailability impact: No direct loss is represented by this metric.
Post-exploitation / living off the land
The issue can support a local privilege or sandbox boundary transition; normal system utilities may then be available in the gained context.

Official advisory
NCSC-NL · Dutch · NCSC-2024-0488Kwetsbaarheden verholpen in macOS

De kwetsbaarheden omvatten onder andere een use-after-free kwetsbaarheid die kon leiden tot onverwachte applicatie-terminatie of willekeurige code-executie, en logica-issues die het mogelijk maakten dat applicaties beschermde delen van het bestandssysteem konden wijzigen. Daarnaast zijn er verbeteringen doorgevoerd in het geheugenbeheer om de stabiliteit en beveiliging van de systemen te waarborgen.
