Report: CVE-2026-40191 - ClearanceKit has a policy bypass via dual-path Endpoint Security events checking

CVE ID :CVE-2026-40191 Published : April 10, 2026, 9:16 p.m. | 28 minutes ago Description :ClearanceKit intercepts file-system access events on macOS and enforces per-process access policies. Prior to 5.0.4-beta-1f46165, ClearanceKit's Endpoint Security event handler only checked the source path of dual-path file operations against File Access Authorization (FAA) rules and App Jail policies. The destination path was ignored entirely. This allowed any local process to bypass file-access protection by using rename, link, copyfile, exchangedata, or clone operations to place or replace files inside protected directories. This vulnerability is fixed in 5.0.4-beta-1f46165. Severity: 6.8 | MEDIUM Visit the link for more details, such as CVSS details, affected products, timeline, and more...
