CVE-2024-8272: Universal Audio Uaconnect

High severity, CVSS 7.8. EPSS: 0.2% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

The com.uaudio.bsd.helper service, responsible for handling privileged operations, fails to implement critical client validation during XPC inter-process communication (IPC). Specifically, the service does not verify the code requirements, entitlements, or security flags of any client attempting to establish a connection. This lack of proper validation allows unauthorized clients to exploit the service's methods and escalate privileges to root.

Affected products

• Universal Audio Uaconnect: up to and including 2.7.0
