Apple Mac OS X does not properly warn the user before enabling additional Human Interface Device (HID) functionality over USB, which allows user-assisted attackers to execute arbitrary programs via crafted USB data, as demonstrated by keyboard and mouse data sent by malware on a smartphone that the user connected to the computer.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This CVE describes a Mac OS X weakness where connecting a malicious or infected USB-capable device, such as a smartphone, could make the computer accept extra keyboard or mouse-like input without adequate warning. That input could launch programs. The source bundle does not identify affected Mac OS X versions or a vendor fix. Exposure is most likely on legacy Mac OS X systems that allow users to connect untrusted USB devices. The source bundle does not define exact affected versions, supported product lines, or patch levels, so asset-specific validation is required. Treat this as a legacy endpoint and physical-device risk. It is not KEV-listed in the bundle, but the potential impact justifies review where old Mac OS X systems or unmanaged USB practices remain in business use. Mitigation focus: Identify any legacy Mac OS X assets still in use.; Check Apple guidance for affected versions and security updates.; Restrict untrusted USB device use on sensitive workstations..
