CVE-2023-38565 is a local privilege escalation vulnerability in Apple platforms caused by improper path handling. Apple states that the issue was addressed with improved validation and that exploitation may allow an app to gain root privileges. The vulnerability affects supported Apple operating systems prior to macOS Monterey 12.6.8, macOS Big Sur 11.7.9, macOS Ventura 13.5, iOS 16.6, iPadOS 16.6, and watchOS 9.6. Based on Apple’s description, the flaw involves insufficient validation of filesystem path handling in a privileged context, enabling a locally executing app to abuse path resolution behavior and obtain elevated privileges up to root.
