It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2025-15523 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Inkscape. 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-2025-15523/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-15523/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-15523","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-15523/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-15523","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-2rgp-qxg7-fcg5","UBUNTU-CVE-2025-15523"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_read","security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Inkscape desktop app","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Local attackers can bypass macOS TCC privacy controls by using Inkscape's bundled Python interpreter to access protected files without user prompts.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"security_feature_bypass"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"CERT-PL","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":4.8,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:L/VI:L/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N","version":"4.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-276","name":"Incorrect Default Permissions"}],"description":"MacOS version of Inkscape bundles a Python interpreter that inherits the Transparency, Consent, and Control (TCC) permissions\ngranted by the user to the main application bundle.
