CVE-2025-57443

Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.

Description

FrostWire 6.14.0-build-326 for macOS contains permissive entitlements (allow-dyld-environment-variables, disable-library-validation) that allow unprivileged local attackers to inject code into the FrostWire process via the DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES environment variable. This allows escalated privileges to arbitrary TCC-approved directories.
