Critical macOS Shortcuts Flaw Reported by PT SWARM Expert
Home » Emerging technologies » Cyber Security » Critical macOS Shortcuts Flaw Reported by PT SWARM Expert PT SWARM expert Egor Filatov has discovered a critical vulnerability in Shortcuts, a built-in Critical macOS app used to automate user actions. The flaw, if exploited, could give an attacker full control over a device. Positive Technologies revealed that the vulnerability is tracked as BDU:2025-02497 and carries a severity score of 8.6 out of 10 on the CVSS 3.0 scale. It affects Shortcuts version 7.0 (2607.1.3). The app has been part of macOS since Monterey, and is also supported in Ventura, Sonoma, and Sequoia. If a compromised device is connected to a corporate network, attackers could infiltrate the internal infrastructure. Filatov warned that it would be enough for a victim to run a malicious macro unknowingly. Positive Technologies reported that the vendor was notified in line with responsible disclosure policies. A patch has already been issued. Users are advised to upgrade to macOS Sequoia 15.5 or later. If an OS update is not possible, users should avoid downloading unknown shortcuts or using the app altogether. According to the report, possible consequences of exploitation include: Theft or deletion of sensitive data Remote malware installation and ransomware attacks Business disruption in corporate environments The company emphasized that threat actors could upload infected shortcut templates to the app's library. Before the patch, the flaw could be used to bypass macOS security and execute arbitrary code. Positive Technologies has a long track record of studying Apple products. In 2018, its researchers discovered a firmware flaw in Intel Management Engine that affected Apple computers. In 2017, vulnerabilities in Apple Pay were reported, allowing unauthorized transactions. The Shortcuts app is also available on iOS. To prevent threats on mobile, companies are advised to use solutions like PT MAZE. It protects apps by making reverse engineering difficult and costly for attackers.

Ireland faces 'day of reckoning' over Ukraine support, Russian ambassador warns
Ireland will face 'a day of reckoning' for supporting Ukraine the Russian Ambassador warned. Yury Filatov also accused the government of complicity in Ukraine's 'barbaric terrorist acts'. His remarks posted on X are likely to renew calls for him to be kicked out of the country. He stated: 'Those in the West who support [the] Zelensky regime are de-facto accomplices in these terrorist crimes and should be called out as such. 'The European governments, including Ireland, who had been applauding Zelensky and Co., supplying them with money and weapons and spreading Kiev's propaganda, share responsibility for the regime's actions. 'They should be aware the day of reckoning will come.' As recently as last February Filatov told The Star Ireland has nothing to fear from Russia. But it now appears that has all changed. Despite Russia invading its neighbour, the diplomat claimed Ukraine started the war. Filatov added: 'It became clear long ago the Kiev authorities have never shunned violence and terrorist methods. 'First in their war against the people of Donetsk and Lugansk in 2014-2022 and then against the entire population of Russia, including targeted bombings and political assassinations. 'It has become a trademark of the cabal which usurped power in Ukraine in 2014. 'Yet, in recent days they outdid even themselves by staging direct attacks on the ordinary people in the Bryansk and Kursk regions of Russia. 'On May 31, Ukrainian saboteurs had blown up a bridge on the A240 highway, directly above the civilian train that went from the city of Klimov to Moscow, instantly killing 7 civilians and severely injuring more than 118. 'Among the victims of this terrorist attack were eight children, with 2 deceased, and a pregnant doctor who worked in a hospice in Bryanks, who died there. 'Same night at 3:00 there has been another bridge explosion, this time in Kursk region, which resulted in a freight train derailment and injuries of the train driver and his assistants. 'Reaction from the West? None – no condemnations, no sympathy.' In response, a spokesperson for the Department of Foreign Affairs said: 'Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine was an act of unprovoked and unjustified aggression and has resulted in countless deaths and untold suffering. 'Ireland and its EU partners have been unequivocal and steadfast in our support for Ukraine, as it exercises its legitimate right to self-defence in line with the UN Charter. 'We strongly condemn Russia's bombardment of Ukrainian cities and civilian infrastructure, and join Ukraine, the EU and partners in calling for a full, immediate and unconditional ceasefire. 'It is for Russia to demonstrate a genuine commitment towards peace by halting its brutal attacks and implementing the proposed ceasefire, without conditions. It can do so at any time.'
