macOS 15.x < 15.7.5 Multiple Vulnerabilities (126795)

high Nessus Plugin ID 303478

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 15.7.5. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

 - A path handling issue was addressed with improved logic. This issue is fixed in macOS Tahoe 26.3, macOS Sonoma 14.8.4, iOS 18.7.5 and iPadOS 18.7.5, visionOS 26.3, iOS 26.3 and iPadOS 26.3, Safari 26.3. A remote user may be able to write arbitrary files. (CVE-2026-20660)

 - When an OAuth2 bearer token is used for an HTTP(S) transfer, and that transfer performs a cross-protocol redirect to a second URL that uses an IMAP, LDAP, POP3 or SMTP scheme, curl might wrongly pass on the bearer token to the new target host. (CVE-2025-14524)

 - An integer overflow in the case of failed ACME certificate renewal leads, after a number of failures (~30 days in default configurations), to the backoff timer becoming 0. Attempts to renew the certificate then are repeated without delays until it succeeds. This issue affects Apache HTTP Server: from 2.4.30 before 2.4.66. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 2.4.66, which fixes the issue. (CVE-2025-55753)

 - Apache HTTP Server 2.4.65 and earlier with Server Side Includes (SSI) enabled and mod_cgid (but not mod_cgi) passes the shell-escaped query string to #exec cmd=... directives. This issue affects Apache HTTP Server before 2.4.66. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 2.4.66, which fixes the issue.
 (CVE-2025-58098)

 - Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) vulnerability in Apache HTTP Server on Windows with AllowEncodedSlashes On and MergeSlashes Off allows to potentially leak NTLM hashes to a malicious server via SSRF and malicious requests or content Users are recommended to upgrade to version 2.4.66, which fixes the issue.
 (CVE-2025-59775)

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 15.7.5 or later.
