AI-suggested
Users should upgrade ClearanceKit to version 4.2.4 or later, which includes the fix for this vulnerability. After upgrading, it is necessary to reactivate the ClearanceKit system extension to ensure the new event types are properly intercepted and enforced. No other mitigation actions are indicated by the vendor advisory.
Description
CVE-2026-33632 is a high-severity vulnerability in ClearanceKit versions prior to 4.2.4 on macOS. The vulnerability arises because two file operation event types, ES_EVENT_TYPE_AUTH_EXCHANGEDATA and ES_EVENT_TYPE_AUTH_CLONE, were not intercepted by ClearanceKit's opfilter system extension. This omission allows local processes to bypass the file access policies enforced by ClearanceKit. The issue is addressed in version 4.2.4 by subscribing to these event types and routing them through the policy evaluator. Users must upgrade to version 4.2.
