Apple · Os X · CVE-2015-5849
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Apple OS X versions prior to 10.11
**Description**
The issue is related to the filtering implementation in AppleEvents, which mishandles attempts to send events to a different user. This can be exploited by attackers to bypass intended access restrictions, potentially allowing them to access protected information. The exploitation can be done by leveraging a screen-sharing connection.
**Recommendations**
For Apple OS X versions prior to 10.11, consider disabling the screen-sharing feature as a temporary workaround to minimize the risk of exploitation. Restrict access to sensitive information and functions until a fix is available.
