A sandbox escape vulnerability in macOS Sequoia allows an app to break out of its sandbox, fixed in macOS Sequoia 15.4.
Vulnerability
A sandbox escape vulnerability exists in macOS Sequoia prior to version 15.4. The issue stems from insufficient authorization checks, allowing an app to break out of its sandbox and perform unauthorized actions. The affected versions are macOS Sequoia before the 15.4 update.
Exploitation
An attacker requires the ability to run a malicious app on the target system, either by tricking the user into installing it or through other means. The app can then exploit the flawed checks to escape the sandbox without needing additional privileges or user interaction beyond initial execution.
Impact
Successful exploitation allows the app to break out of its sandbox, potentially gaining access to sensitive user data, system resources, or executing arbitrary code outside the sandbox. This compromises the confidentiality and integrity of the system.
Mitigation
The vulnerability is fixed in macOS Sequoia 15.4, released on March 31, 2025 [1]. Users should update to this version or later. No workarounds are available, and the issue is not listed on the CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog.
