Anthropic Mithos bypasses Apple\'s 5-year macOS security technology in five days

A privilege-escalation exploit has emerged that bypasses Apple’s next-generation memory protection technology, Memory Integrity Enforcement (MIE), developed over five years. CalypsoAI said it used Anthropic’s AI model Mithos in preview to produce attack code targeting M5 chip-based Macs in five days. The exploit combined two macOS vulnerabilities and multiple techniques to obtain root access from a local user account. CalypsoAI said it has shared details with Apple and plans to publish a report after a patch.
