Summary

In the CUPS Printer Driver installer for macOS (Canon PIXUS iX6800 Series, PIXMA MG2500 Series and iX6800 Series) up to version 16.91.0.0, improper handling of symbolic links allows a local attacker with login privileges to modify directory permissions they normally would not have access to.

Risk Assessment

A local attacker could gain unauthorized access to system directories, potentially leading to privilege escalation and system security compromise.

Recommendation

Update the CUPS Printer Driver to a version newer than 16.91.0.0. Restrict installer access to trusted users only.
