NewCVE-2025-10015 (opens in a new tab)How to fix?
Upgrade sparkle-project/Sparkle to version 2.7.2 or higher.
Overview
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Incorrect Authorization via the Downloader.xpc service. A local unprivileged attacker can access and copy files protected by TCC permissions by registering the service globally and exploiting the lack of client validation.
##Workaround
This does not impact apps that do use the downloader service and have chosen make a custom build of Sparkle to sandbox the service (by setting a custom XPC_SERVICE_BUNDLE_ID_PREFIX and uncommenting DOWNLOADER_SANDBOXED_ENTITLEMENTS)
