CVE-2026-28930 is a permissions issue in Spotlight on macOS Tahoe that could allow an application to access protected user data. The flaw was addressed by adding additional restrictions, indicating insufficient enforcement of access controls around protected data exposed through the affected component. Successful exploitation would let a locally running app bypass intended privacy boundaries and obtain data that should require stronger authorization.
