Summary
The "iCloud Find My Mac" feature in Apple OS X before 10.10 does not properly enforce rate limiting of lost-mode PIN entry, which makes it easier for physically proximate attackers to obtain access via a brute-force attack involving a series of reboots.
Exploit prediction
0.33% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days, higher than 26% of all scored CVEs (FIRST EPSS, 2026-11-09).
