CVE-2025-4280
Overview
CVE-2025-4280 is a known-severity vulnerability. It was published on May 22, 2025.
Technical Description
MacOS version of Poedit bundles a Python interpreter that inherits the Transparency, Consent, and Control (TCC) permissions
granted by the user to the main application bundle. An attacker with local user access can
invoke this interpreter with arbitrary commands or scripts, leveraging the
application's previously granted TCC permissions to access user's files in privacy-protected folders without triggering user prompts. Accessing other resources beyond previously granted TCC permissions will prompt the user for approval in the name of Poedit, potentially disguising attacker's malicious intent.
This issue has been fixed in 3.6.3 version of Poedit.
