CVE-2025-15523

MacOS version of Inkscape bundles a Python interpreter that inherits the Transparency, Consent, and Control (TCC) permissions granted by the user to the main application bundle. An attacker with local user access can invoke this interpreter with arbitrary commands or scripts, leveraging the application's previously granted TCC permissions to access user's files in privacy-protected folders without triggering user prompts. Accessing other resources beyond previously granted TCC permissions will prompt the user for approval in the name of Inkscape, potentially disguising attacker's malicious intent. This issue has been fixed in 1.4.3 version of Inkscape.

Summary		(es) La versión de Inkscape para macOS incluye un intérprete de Python que hereda los permisos de Transparencia, Consentimiento y Control (TCC) otorgados por el usuario al paquete principal de la aplicación. Un atacante con acceso de usuario local puede invocar este intérprete con comandos o scripts arbitrarios, aprovechando los permisos TCC previamente otorgados a la aplicación para acceder a los archivos del usuario en carpetas protegidas por la privacidad sin activar avisos al usuario. Acceder a otros recursos más allá de los permisos TCC previamente otorgados solicitará la aprobación del usuario en nombre de Inkscape, lo que podría disfrazar la intención maliciosa del atacante. Este problema ha sido solucionado en la versión 1.4.3 de Inkscape.
