**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions** Apple Mac OS X versions 10.5 through 10.5.1 **Description** The issue allows an uninstalled application to be launched if it is in a Time Machine backup, potentially enabling local users to bypass intended security restrictions or exploit vulnerabilities in the application. **Recommendations** For Apple Mac OS X versions 10.5 through 10.5.1, consider disabling the use of Time Machine backups for launching uninstalled applications until a fix is available. Restrict access to Time Machine backups to minimize the risk of exploitation.
