Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions macOS Ventura versions prior to 13.7.3 macOS Sequoia versions prior to 15.3 macOS Sonoma versions prior to 14.7.3

Description A path handling issue was addressed with improved validation, allowing an app to potentially read files outside of its sandbox. The issue is related to a buffer overflow in memory, which can be exploited to read arbitrary files.
