VAR-201310-0477
Vulnerability from variot - Updated: 2025-04-11 22:25socketfilterfw in Application Firewall in Apple Mac OS X before 10.9 does not properly implement the --blockApp option, which allows remote attackers to bypass intended access restrictions via a network connection to an application for which blocking was configured. Apple Mac OS X is prone to a security-bypass vulnerability. An attacker can exploit this issue to bypass intended security restrictions and perform unauthorized actions. Note: This issue was previously covered in BID 63282 (Apple Mac OS X APPLE-SA-2013- 10-22-3 Multiple Security Vulnerabilities), but has been given its own record to better document it. The vulnerability stems from the --blockApp option of the socketfilterfw command-line tool not properly preventing applications from receiving network connections

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.
