Apple · Apple Macos · CVE-2016-7628
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
macOS versions prior to 10.12.2
**Description**
The issue is related to the "Assets" component of the operating system, which has inadequate access control restrictions. This allows a local attacker to bypass intended permission restrictions and potentially elevate their privileges, enabling them to modify a downloaded mobile asset through unspecified vectors.
**Recommendations**
For macOS versions prior to 10.12.2, update to version 10.12.2 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the "Assets" component to minimize the risk of exploitation.
