The disclosed vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient sanitization of user-supplied data. A remote attacker can trick the victim to follow a specially crafted link and execute arbitrary HTML and script code in user's browser in context of vulnerable website.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may allow a remote attacker to steal potentially sensitive information, change appearance of the web page, perform phishing and drive-by-download attacks.
4) Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-44167)
The vulnerability allows a local application to overwrite arbitrary files on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to improper management of permissions in Notes. A local application can overwrite arbitrary files on the system.
5) Heap-based buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-5841)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error when validating the number of scanline samples of a OpenEXR file containing deep scanline data. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted file to the application, trigger a heap-based buffer overflow and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.
6) Integer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-44198)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to integer overflow in libxml2. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application, trigger an integer overflow and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.
7) Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-40825)
The vulnerability allows a local application to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists improperly imposed security restrictions in APFS. A local application with root privileges can modify the contents of system files.
8) Improper access control (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-44191)
The vulnerability allows a local application to gain access to Bluetooth.
The vulnerability exists due to improper access restrictions in kernel. A local application can gain unauthorized access to Bluetooth.
9) Information disclosure (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-44165)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to potentially sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to the way the macOS kernel handles DHCP packets with an active VPN tunnel. A remote attacker can perform TunnelVision attack and gain access to sensitive information.
10) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-44169)
The vulnerability allows a local application to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error in IOSurfaceAccelerator. A local application can trigger memory corruption and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
11) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-44176)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary condition in ImageIO. A remote attacker can create a specially crafted file, trick the victim into opening it, trigger an out-of-bounds read error and crash the application.
12) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-27880)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input in ImageIO. A remote attacker can trick the victim into opening a specially crafted image file and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
13) Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-40850)
The vulnerability allows a local application to gain access to sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists in Game Center due to improperly imposed security restrictions. A local application can gain unauthorized access to certain files on the system.
14) Race condition (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-27876)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise the affected system.
The vulnerability exists due to a race condition within the Compression component. A remote attacker can trick the victim into unpacking a specially crafted file and execute arbitrary code on the system.
15) Information disclosure (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-40790)
The vulnerability allows a local application to gain access to potentially sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to improper handling of caches in Presence. A local application can read sensitive data from the GPU memory.
