Apple Mac EFI before 2015-001, as used in OS X before 10.10.4 and other products, does not enforce a locking protection mechanism upon being woken from sleep, which allows local users to conduct EFI flash attacks by leveraging root privileges.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is an Apple Mac firmware protection issue from 2015. After waking from sleep, affected EFI firmware may fail to re-enable a locking protection, allowing a local user with root privileges to attempt EFI flash attacks. Business risk is mainly legacy Mac fleet exposure and potential firmware-level compromise. Exposure is most likely on legacy Macs running OS X before 10.10.4 or missing Apple Mac EFI Update 2015-001. The provided sources do not identify exact Mac models or all “other products.” Prioritize this for legacy Mac environments, especially where older systems still handle sensitive work. The issue needs root privileges, but firmware compromise can outlast normal OS remediation. Current exploitation is not shown in the provided sources. Mitigation focus: Apply Apple Mac EFI Update 2015-001 where applicable.; Upgrade affected OS X systems to 10.10.4 or later per Apple guidance.; Check Apple advisories for exact product and model applicability..
