NVD description
Slate Digital Connect 1.37.0 for macOS installs a privileged helper tool, com.slatedigital.connect.privileged.helper.tool, which exposes the XPC service com.slatedigital.connect.privileged.helper.tool2. The helper validates connecting XPC clients by obtaining the client's process identifier and using it to retrieve code-signing information for the process. This PID-based client validation is subject to a time-of-check time-of-use race condition because process identifiers can be reused. A local attacker can exploit PID reuse so that validation is performed against a trusted process instead of the original connecting process. This allows unauthorized access to privileged helper functionality and may lead to local privilege escalation.
『The vendor was unresponsive since January 2026 and a patch is not available.』😵
CVE-2026-24066, CVE-2026-24067
Local Privilege Escalation in Slate Digital Connect (macOS)
https://sec-consult.com/vulnerability-lab/advisory/local-privilege-escalation-in-slate-digital-connect/
Post summary
The post highlights that vendors have not responded and no patch is available for CVE-2026-24066 and CVE-2026-24067, which are local privilege escalation flaws in Slate Digital Connect.
Local privilege escalation remains one of the most impactful post-compromise techniques.
An advisory on Slate Digital Connect (macOS) highlights insufficient validation in privileged components, potentially enabling elevated access under certain conditions (CVE-2026-24066, CVE-2026-24067).
With no patch currently available, mitigation becomes a matter of detection, restriction, and configuration hardening.
Recommended focus areas:
◾ Monitor abnormal privilege escalation attempts
◾ Restrict execution paths and application permissions
◾ Review endpoint hardening baselines
