VAR-200503-0156

Vulnerability from variot - Updated: 2025-04-03 22:11

iCal before 1.5.4 on Mac OS X 10.2.3, and other later versions, does not alert the user when handling calendars that use alarms, which allows attackers to execute programs and send e-mail via alarms. It is reported that when importing an Apple iCal calendar, iCal fails to warn an end user if the calendar contains an alarm. This may result in a victim importing a calendar that is believed to be safe when in reality the calendar contains malicious alarm entries

The MITRE ATT&CK techniques below are AI-generated suggestions, inferred from the description of the vulnerability by the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-classification-roberta-base model, served locally by ML-Gateway. They have not been verified by an analyst and are provided for guidance only.
The approach is described in our paper Mapping CVEs to MITRE ATT&CK Techniques: A Curated Gold-Set Classifier and the Limits of LLM-Assisted Label Expansion.
