Apple Fixes Screen Sharing Vulnerability in Tahoe, Sequoia, and Sonoma

In fact, Apple’s wording suggests to me that Screen Sharing is vulnerable to unauthenticated connections over the local network, not the Internet.

But I agree, that on a home network, behind a router/firewall, it’s probably not going to be a big concern.

I hope that this is not an issue on a home network behind a router/firewall. I use Screen Sharing on my Mac Studio (Sequoia) to connect to a headless MacPro5,1 that runs Mojave, Sierra, Mountain Lion, and Snow Leopard – and there are, of course, no updates for those legacy systems.

Ars Technica now reports that this vulnerability is under active exploit.
