CFNetwork in Apple OS X through 10.8.5 does not remove session cookies upon a Safari reset action, which allows physically proximate attackers to bypass intended access restrictions by leveraging an unattended workstation.

Security readout for executives and security teams

On older Mac systems, using Safari's reset action did not fully clear session cookies. Someone with physical access to an unattended workstation could potentially continue using sessions the user expected to erase. This is mainly a shared-device and physical-access risk, not a remote compromise scenario. Exposure is most likely on legacy Apple OS X systems through 10.8.5, especially shared, kiosk, lab, or office Macs where Safari reset was relied on to clear sessions. Treat this as a low-priority legacy exposure unless affected Macs are shared, unattended, or used for sensitive web applications. Prioritize removal from shared workflows and confirm vendor guidance. Mitigation focus: Check Apple HT6150 for the relevant vendor guidance or update.; Retire or upgrade OS X systems through 10.8.5 where feasible.; Avoid relying on Safari reset as the only session-clearing control..
