Mac computers stuck with a dangerous security vulnerability, Apple was announced in February but has not yet resolved

Security researcher Filippo Cavallarin discovered a security vulnerability on macOS and informed Apple from February 22, but to the latest macOS version, 10.14.5, this vulnerability has not been fixed yet. Hackers can take advantage of this security hole to bypass Apple's protection and install malware for computers.

MacOS is considered a relatively safe operating system. It is not easy to install malware from outside into this system. However, if you take advantage of the new security hole discovered by Filippo Cavallarin, bad guys can bypass the protection layer and install monitoring and stealing software.

On the Mac OS, the Gatekeeper security tool will verify whether any application is about to be installed and licensed by Apple. If the application has not been licensed by Apple, it will require the user to confirm whether or not to agree to install. However, the new vulnerability on macOS will bypass these moderation steps, allowing hackers to install malware on the computer without the user's consent.
