The Login Window in Apple Mac OS X 10.4 through 10.4.9 does not display the screen saver authentication dialog in certain circumstances when waking from sleep, even though the "require a password to wake the computer from sleep" option is enabled, which allows local users to bypass authentication controls.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This issue could let someone with physical access to a sleeping Mac bypass the expected wake-from-sleep password prompt. It affects Apple Mac OS X 10.4 through 10.4.9 in certain circumstances. It is mainly a local, physical-access risk, not a remote network compromise. Exposure is limited to legacy Mac OS X 10.4 through 10.4.9 systems where password-on-wake is relied on for session protection. Current enterprise exposure should be rare unless unsupported Tiger-era systems remain in use. Treat as a legacy endpoint hygiene issue unless affected Macs are still present in sensitive physical spaces. Prioritize discovery and retirement over emergency response because no active exploitation evidence is provided. Mitigation focus: Identify any remaining Mac OS X 10.4 through 10.4.9 systems.; Apply Apple’s vendor security guidance referenced by APPLE-SA-2007-04-19.; Retire or isolate unsupported legacy Mac systems where updates are unavailable..
