It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: Yes. Attackers have exploited CVE-2019-8526 in the wild since at least 17 Apr 2023.\n\nAffected product: Apple Mac Os X. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2019-8526/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2019-8526/index.md)","id":"CVE-2019-8526","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2019-8526/index.md","name":"CVE-2019-8526","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-p8m9-gxw7-g5pf"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"macOS","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A use-after-free vulnerability in macOS allows an application to gain elevated privileges, requiring a system update to mitigate.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"use_after_free"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"apple","cpe":[{"product":"mac_os_x","vendor":"apple"}],"cvss":{"score":7.8,"severity":"high","source":"cisa-adp","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-416","name":"Use After Free"}],"description":"A use after free issue was addressed with improved memory management.
