2) Improper access control (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-43530)
The vulnerability allows a local application to gain access to sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to improper access restrictions in VoiceOver. A local application can access sensitive user data.
3) Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-43516)
The vulnerability allows a local user to gain access to sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to a session management issue in Voice Control. A local user can transcribe another user's activity.
4) Improper access control (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-43416)
The vulnerability allows a local application to gain access to sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to improper access restrictions in sudo. A local application can access protected user data.
5) Improper limitation of a pathname to a restricted directory ('path traversal') (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-43463)
The vulnerability allows a local application to gain access to sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to incorrect handling of path names in StorageKit. A local application can trick the victim into opening a specially crafted file and access sensitive user data.
6) Information exposure through log files (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-43538)
The vulnerability allows a local application to gain access to sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to inclusion of sensitive information into a log file in Screen Time. A local application can access sensitive user data.
7) Exposure of sensitive information to an unauthorized actor (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-43509)
The vulnerability allows a local application to gain access to sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to excessive data output in Networking. A local application can access sensitive user data.
8) Information disclosure (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-46276)
The vulnerability allows a local application to gain access to potentially sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to excessive data output in Messages. A local application can gain access to sensitive user information.
9) Improper input validation (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-43513)
The vulnerability allows a local application to gain access to sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient input validation in MDM Configuration Tools. A local application can read sensitive location information.
10) Integer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-46285)
The vulnerability allows a local application to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error within the OS kernel components. A local application can trigger an integer overflow and execute arbitrary code with root privileges.
11) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-43539)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error when processing files in AppleJPEG. A remote attacker can create a specially crafted file, trick the victim into opening it, trigger memory corruption and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.
12) Improper access control (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-43512)
The vulnerability allows a local application to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to improper access restrictions in Kernel. A local application can elevate privileges.
13) Memory corruption (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-43532)
The vulnerability allows a local application to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error in Foundation. A local application can trick the victim into opening a specially crafted file and perform unexpected app termination.
14) Improper access control (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-43518)
The vulnerability allows a local application to gain access to sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to improper access restrictions in Foundation. A local application can trick the victim into opening a specially crafted file and inappropriately access files through the spellcheck API.
15) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-9086)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary condition when reading cookie path. A malicious server can set a specially crafted cookie path using the secure keyword, trigger an out-of-bounds read error and crash the application.
