Summary

Apple macOS versions before 15.8.2, before 26.7.2 and before 27.2 are affected. A missing or incomplete check lets a maliciously crafted ZIP archive bypass Gatekeeper checks. A local user must interact with the crafted archive, such as opening it, for the bypass to occur, and the flaw can affect integrity.
