The helper validates connecting XPC clients by obtaining the client's process identifier and using it to retrieve code-signing information for the process. This PID-based client validation is subject to a time-of-check time-of-use race condition because process identifiers can be reused. A local attacker can exploit PID reuse so that validation is performed against a trusted process instead of the original connecting process. This allows unauthorized access to privileged helper functionality and may lead to local privilege escalation.","severity":{"version":"3.1","score":8.4,"vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","level":"high","assessor":"adp","from":"cve"},"epss":{"day":"2026-11-10","score":0.00181,"percentile":0.07704,"model":"v2026.06.15"},"facts":{"in_kev":false,"known_exploited":false,"public_exploit":false,"fix_available":false},"cwes":["CWE-367"],"published":"2026-06-10T11:49:10Z","modified":"2026-11-06T09:55:55Z","products":[{"vendor":"slate digital llc","product":"slate digital connect"}],"references":[{"url":"https://r.sec-consult.com/slate","tags":["third-party-advisory"]},{"url":"https://sec-consult.com/vulnerability-lab/advisory/local-privilege-escalation-in-slate-digital-connect/","tags":["exploit"]},{"url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-24067"},{"url":"https://sec-consult.com/vulnerability-lab/advisory/local-privilege-escalation-in-slate-digital-connect"},{"url":"https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-gm33-xcxj-p624"}],"sources":{"cve":[{"id":"CVE-2026-24067","title":"Slate Digital Connect macOS XPC PID validation privilege escalation","description":"Slate Digital Connect 1.37.0 for macOS installs a privileged helper tool, com.slatedigital.connect.privileged.helper.tool, which exposes the XPC service com.slatedigital.connect.privileged.helper.tool2.
