macOS vulnerability analysis and mitigation

CVE-2024-44293 is a privacy vulnerability discovered in macOS Sequoia that was fixed in version 15.1. The vulnerability allows a user to view sensitive user information due to inadequate private data redaction for log entries (Apple Advisory). The vulnerability was discovered by security researchers Kirin (@Pwnrin) and 7feilee.
