CVE-2025-4280

Severity CVSS v4.0:
MEDIUM

Description

MacOS version of Poedit bundles a Python interpreter that inherits the Transparency, Consent, and Control (TCC) permissions<br /> granted by the user to the main application bundle. An attacker with local user access can<br /> invoke this interpreter with arbitrary commands or scripts, leveraging the<br /> application&amp;#39;s previously granted TCC permissions to access user&amp;#39;s files in privacy-protected folders without triggering user prompts. Accessing other resources beyond previously granted TCC permissions will prompt the user for approval in the name of Poedit, potentially disguising attacker&amp;#39;s malicious intent.<br /> <br /> This issue has been fixed in 3.6.3 version of Poedit.
