Apple's MacOS Gap Lets Users Disable Security Tools

A vulnerability in Apple's macOS allows attackers to disable built-in security and browser tools without requiring administrator privileges or kernel exploits. This represents a gap in the operating system's security architecture that could be leveraged for malicious purposes.

Why it matters: This attack vector bypasses expected privilege barriers, enabling lower-privileged attackers to compromise security controls that should protect the system.
