CVE-2026-33632 Details
Description
ClearanceKit intercepts file-system access events on macOS and enforces per-process access policies. Prior to version 4.2.4, two file operation event types — ES_EVENT_TYPE_AUTH_EXCHANGEDATA and ES_EVENT_TYPE_AUTH_CLONE — were not intercepted by ClearanceKit's opfilter system extension, allowing local processes to bypass file access policies. Commit 6181c4a patches the vulnerability by subscribing to both event types and routing them through the existing policy evaluator. Users must upgrade to v4.2.4 or later and reactivate the system extension.
A vulnerability in ClearanceKit prior to version 4.2.4 allows local processes to bypass file access policies by exploiting two unmonitored file operation event types, ES_EVENT_TYPE_AUTH_EXCHANGEDATA and ES_EVENT_TYPE_AUTH_CLONE. This bypass occurs in the opfilter system extension, which is responsible for enforcing access policies. As a result, protected files can be manipulated without triggering any of the monitored operation types, creating a significant security risk.
Users are advised to upgrade to ClearanceKit version 4.2.4 or later and reactivate the system extension.
