CVE-2026-28924 is a privacy vulnerability in Sync Services on macOS caused by a race condition involving symbolic link handling. The flaw could allow an application to exploit timing issues during symlink processing and gain access to Contacts data without obtaining the user consent normally required by the platform’s privacy controls. Apple addressed the issue by improving the handling of symbolic links. The vulnerability affects macOS Sonoma, macOS Sequoia, and macOS Tahoe prior to the fixed releases.
