MetricsAV:L/AC:L/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Apple OS X versions prior to 10.11
Description The issue is related to the Login Window component, which does not properly lock the screen at the intended time. This allows physically proximate attackers to gain access to an unattended workstation. The vulnerability is associated with errors in screen lock settings, potentially enabling a local attacker to access protected information.
Recommendations For Apple OS X versions prior to 10.11, consider configuring the screen lock settings to lock the screen immediately when the workstation is unattended, or implement a workaround to ensure the screen is locked at the intended time until a fix is available.
