25
FAUCET Score

CVE-2019-8592 is a memory corruption vulnerability affecting Apple's iOS, macOS, tvOS, and watchOS, stemming from insufficient input validation when processing audio files. A successful exploit, triggered by playing a specially crafted malicious audio file, could lead to arbitrary code execution. This vulnerability has a CVSS v3.1 score of 7.8 (High), indicating a local attack vector with low complexity, requiring user interaction, and potentially resulting in high confidentiality, integrity, and availability impacts. While the vulnerability is patched across various Apple operating systems, there is no public exploit code available (Metasploit, Nuclei, ExploitDB), and it is not listed in CISA's KEV catalog, suggesting no active exploitation. Community discussion and media coverage are also minimal.
