This morning, Microsoft’s 365 Defender research team released details of a new macOS “Powerdir” vulnerability that allows an attacker to bypass transparency, consent, and control technology to gain unauthorized access to protected data.
According to Microsoft, the “Powerdir” security vulnerability could allow the installation of a fake TCC database.
Microsoft has a detailed description of how the vulnerability works, and the company says its security researchers continue to “monitor the threat landscape” for new vulnerabilities and attack techniques affecting macOS and other non-Windows devices.
“Software vendors like Apple, security researchers, and the larger security community, need to continuously work together to identify and fix vulnerabilities before attackers can take advantage of them,” wrote Microsoft’s security team.
