Security researcher Linus Henze has discovered a vulnerability in macOS which can be exploited to discover the user’s passwords stored in the Keychain. The bug is still present in macOS Mojave.
Apple has recently been under fire due to a pretty major bug in its FaceTime video calling service, which allows users to listen in to whoever is on the other side even before the call is answered. Now, it’s time for macOS to be the target of unwanted attention, thanks to a new vulnerability discovered by German security researcher Linus Henze.
The problem lies with the Keychain, which can be used to store the user’s passwords for a variety of services. In theory, these are kept safe from any possible intruders, but Henze discovered a vulnerability which can be exploited to reveal all the passwords stored in the Keychain.
