Detailsinfo

A vulnerability, which was classified as problematic, has been found in Aquarius Desktop 3.0.069 on macOS. This issue affects an unknown functionality in the library ~/Library/Logs/Aquarius. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a information disclosure vulnerability. Using CWE to declare the problem leads to CWE-200. The product exposes sensitive information to an actor that is not explicitly authorized to have access to that information. Impacted is confidentiality. The summary by CVE is:

Aquarius Desktop 3.0.069 for macOS contains an insecure file handling vulnerability in its support data archive generation feature. The application follows symbolic links placed inside the ~/Library/Logs/Aquarius directory and treats them as regular files. When building the support ZIP, Aquarius recursively enumerates logs using a JUCE directory iterator configured to follow symlinks, and later writes file data without validating whether the target is a symbolic link. A local attacker can exploit this behavior by planting symlinks to arbitrary filesystem locations, resulting in unauthorized disclosure or modification of arbitrary files. When chained with the associated HelperTool privilege escalation issue, root-owned files may also be exposed.

The advisory is shared at almightysec.com. The identification of this vulnerability is CVE-2025-65843 since 11/18/2025. The exploitation is known to be easy. An attack has to be approached locally. Technical details are known, but no exploit is available. MITRE ATT&CK project uses the attack technique T1592 for this issue.

There is no information about possible countermeasures known. It may be suggested to replace the affected object with an alternative product.
