CVE-2026-39118 affects Iru, Inc. Kandji Agent before version 4.7.5 (build 5374) on macOS. The issue is described as a client validation gap in the agent’s privileged XPC-facing functionality that allows an unprivileged local user to invoke restricted agent operations. Public reporting states the flaw was exploited through a two-phase XPC chain against io.kandji.kandji-daemon by impersonating the Kandji Menu app. The broader attack chain described by XM Cyber involved weak XPC client validation in combination with macOS trust-boundary abuse, including use of a trusted signed component context, to reach privileged methods and disable agent protections. Reported effects in Kandji included permanent agent deactivation, clearing of EDR guard state, and termination of the Endpoint Security Framework extension.
