LowMetricsAV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions:
Microsoft Skype versions through 8.59.0.77 on macOS
Description:
The issue allows a local process with the user's privileges to obtain unprompted microphone and camera access. This is achieved by loading a crafted library, which enables the process to inherit Skype Client's microphone and camera access due to the disable-library-validation entitlement.
Recommendations:
For Microsoft Skype versions through 8.59.0.77 on macOS, consider restricting access to the microphone and camera until a fix is available. As a temporary workaround, review and restrict any library loading capabilities to minimize the risk of exploitation.
