AI-suggested

To mitigate CVE-2025-43325, organizations should promptly update all macOS devices to macOS Tahoe 26 or later, where the vulnerability is fixed through enhanced sandbox restrictions. Until patching is possible, restrict the installation of untrusted or unsigned applications and enforce strict application whitelisting policies. Employ endpoint protection solutions that monitor for unusual app behavior or unauthorized data access attempts. Educate users to avoid interacting with unknown or suspicious applications, as exploitation requires user interaction. Additionally, review and tighten sandbox configurations and access control policies for apps, especially those with access to sensitive data. Regularly audit installed software and remove unnecessary or outdated applications that may increase the attack surface.

Description

An access issue was addressed with additional sandbox restrictions. This issue is fixed in macOS Tahoe 26. An app may be able to access sensitive user data.
