Synopsis

The remote host is missing a macOS update that fixes multiple vulnerabilities

Description

The remote host is running a version of macOS / Mac OS X that is 15.x prior to 15.6. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

 - A flaw was found in the libxslt library. The same memory field, psvi, is used for both stylesheet and input data, which can lead to type confusion during XML transformations. This vulnerability allows an attacker to crash the application or corrupt memory. In some cases, it may lead to denial of service or unexpected behavior. (CVE-2025-7424)

 - Insufficient validation of untrusted input in ANGLE and GPU in Google Chrome prior to 138.0.7204.157 allowed a remote attacker to potentially perform a sandbox escape via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: High) (CVE-2025-6558)

 - A flaw was found in libxslt where the attribute type, atype, flags are modified in a way that corrupts internal memory management. When XSLT functions, such as the key() process, result in tree fragments, this corruption prevents the proper cleanup of ID attributes. As a result, the system may access freed memory, causing crashes or enabling attackers to trigger heap corruption. (CVE-2025-7425)

 - This issue was addressed by adding an additional prompt for user consent. (CVE-2025-24188, CVE-2025-31273, CVE-2025-31275, CVE-2025-31277, CVE-2025-31279, CVE-2025-31280, CVE-2025-31281, CVE-2025-43185, CVE-2025-43186, CVE-2025-43188, CVE-2025-43189, CVE-2025-43193, CVE-2025-43195, CVE-2025-43198, CVE-2025-43199, CVE-2025-43215, CVE-2025-43216, CVE-2025-43218, CVE-2025-43219, CVE-2025-43221, CVE-2025-43222, CVE-2025-43223, CVE-2025-43224, CVE-2025-43225, CVE-2025-43226, CVE-2025-43227, CVE-2025-43229, CVE-2025-43230, CVE-2025-43232, CVE-2025-43233, CVE-2025-43234, CVE-2025-43235, CVE-2025-43236, CVE-2025-43237, CVE-2025-43238, CVE-2025-43239, CVE-2025-43240, CVE-2025-43241, CVE-2025-43243, CVE-2025-43244, CVE-2025-43245, CVE-2025-43246, CVE-2025-43247, CVE-2025-43248, CVE-2025-43249, CVE-2025-43250, CVE-2025-43251, CVE-2025-43252, CVE-2025-43254, CVE-2025-43255, CVE-2025-43256, CVE-2025-43257, CVE-2025-43259, CVE-2025-43260, CVE-2025-43261, CVE-2025-43264, CVE-2025-43265, CVE-2025-43266, CVE-2025-43267, CVE-2025-43268, CVE-2025-43270, CVE-2025-43273, CVE-2025-43274, CVE-2025-43275, CVE-2025-43276, CVE-2025-43277)

 - An integer overflow was addressed with improved input validation. (CVE-2025-31243, CVE-2025-43187, CVE-2025-43191, CVE-2025-43192, CVE-2025-43194, CVE-2025-43196, CVE-2025-43197, CVE-2025-43206, CVE-2025-43210, CVE-2025-43220, CVE-2025-43253)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the operating system's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade to macOS 15.6 or later.
