CVE-2025-30452 is a sandbox-related vulnerability affecting multiple versions of macOS, including Ventura 13.7.5, Sequoia 15.4, and Sonoma 14.7.5. The vulnerability was discovered and reported by an anonymous researcher and disclosed on March 31, 2025. The issue involves an input validation vulnerability in the sandbox component that could potentially allow unauthorized access (NVD, CVE).

The vulnerability is classified as an input validation issue (CWE-20) with a CVSS v3.1 base score of 9.8 (CRITICAL), indicating a high severity level. The CVSS vector string is CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H, suggesting the vulnerability can be exploited remotely with low attack complexity, requires no privileges or user interaction, and can result in high impacts to confidentiality, integrity, and availability (NVD).

The vulnerability could allow an application to break out of its sandbox environment, potentially leading to unauthorized access to protected system resources. This poses significant security risks as it could enable malicious applications to bypass intended security restrictions and gain access to sensitive system components (Apple Support).

Apple has addressed this vulnerability by implementing improved checks in the affected systems. Users are strongly advised to update their systems to macOS Ventura 13.7.5, macOS Sequoia 15.4, or macOS Sonoma 14.7.5 or later versions, which contain the security fix for this vulnerability (Apple Support, Apple Support, Apple Support).
