    Vulnerability giving attackers full control of Macs is under active exploitation

    A critical macOS vulnerability (CVE-2026-65400) enabling full remote control and root access is actively being exploited, particularly affecting organizations with internet-exposed screen sharing ports (5900), with attackers currently installing cryptocurrency miners but posing risk for credential theft and malware deployment. IT organizations must immediately patch affected macOS systems (Tahoe, Sequoia, Sonoma) and audit network configurations to identify exposed screen sharing services, as this represents a direct path to enterprise compromises and resource hijacking. The vulnerability highlights the need for enhanced endpoint security policies around remote access capabilities and network exposure management, particularly for organizations with hybrid workforces relying on Mac deployments.
