An app on macOS can bypass Gatekeeper checks. The flaw is triggered by an app on the system rather than by a remote unauthenticated request. Apple fixed it with improved checks in macOS Golden Gate 27.2 and macOS Tahoe 26.7.2. Users of those macOS releases before the fixes are affected.
What to do: Update to macOS Golden Gate 27.2 or macOS Tahoe 26.7.2, which include the improved checks.
| Product | Affected | Fixed in |
