CVE-2013-1031: Apple Mac OS X

Low severity, CVSS 3.3. EPSS: 0.4% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

Power Management in Apple Mac OS X before 10.8.5 does not properly perform locking upon occurrences of a power assertion, which allows physically proximate attackers to bypass intended access restrictions by visiting an unattended workstation on which a locking failure had prevented the startup of the screen saver.

Affected products

• Apple Mac OS X: up to and including 10.8.4; version 10.8.0 only; version 10.8.1 only; version 10.8.2 only; version 10.8.3 only
