CVE-2022-26706 is a sandbox escape vulnerability affecting Apple platforms, including macOS, iOS, iPadOS, tvOS, and watchOS, with public reporting focused on macOS App Sandbox bypass. The flaw allowed a sandboxed third-party application or process to circumvent sandbox restrictions and execute outside the intended confinement boundary. Reported exploitation on macOS involved specially crafted code abusing Launch Services behavior through the open utility, specifically use of standard-input handling to launch an interpreter in a way that caused the resulting process to run without the originating application's sandbox restrictions. This broke the security boundary intended to limit file-system and system-resource access available to sandboxed applications.
