What is CVE-2026-24063?
CVE-2026-24063 is a high-severity vulnerability in Arturia Software Center, published on 18 Mar 2026. It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.
Official description
When a plugin is installed using the Arturia Software Center (MacOS), it also installs an uninstall.sh bash script in a root owned path. This script is written to disk with the file permissions 777, meaning it is writable by any user. When uninstalling a plugin via the Arturia Software Center the Privileged Helper gets instructed to execute this script. When the bash script is manipulated by an attacker this scenario will lead to privilege escalation.
