Base vector

AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:N

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.
