CVE-2026-11318 Details
Description
Deskin through 3.3.4.3 contains a privilege escalation vulnerability in the com.deskin.service.installer XPC service that allows local unprivileged attackers to execute arbitrary installer packages as root by connecting to the root-owned service without authentication. Attackers can invoke the privileged installer method to run an attacker-supplied installer, achieving full root compromise of the macOS host.
A privilege escalation vulnerability has been identified in the DeskIn macOS client, specifically in versions through 3.3.4.3. The issue resides in the 'com.deskin.service.installer' XPC service, which is owned by root and lacks proper authentication. This vulnerability allows local, unprivileged attackers to execute arbitrary installer packages as root by connecting to the unprotected service. Exploitation of this flaw could lead to a full root compromise of the macOS system.
As the vendor has not released a patch, users are advised to disable the 'DeskIn_Service' if not needed or to uninstall the application until a fix is available.
