Library Validation Bypass in DaVinci Resolve by Blackmagic Design

CVE-2025-4081

What is CVE-2025-4081?

A vulnerability in DaVinci Resolve for macOS allows local attackers to exploit the use of the entitlement 'com.apple.security.cs.disable-library-validation'. This lack of launch and library load constraints empowers malicious users to substitute a legitimate dynamic library (dylib) with their own. Although the attacker's ability to gain access to resources is limited to those permissions previously granted by the user, they can execute the application while bypassing Transparency, Consent, and Control (TCC) mechanisms. To access additional resources beyond what has been permitted, user interaction is required to respond to system prompts for permission.
