Reporting a vulnerability

Please do not publish exploitable details in a public issue. Use GitHub's private vulnerability reporting flow for this repository when available, or contact the repository owner through their public GitHub profile and request a private channel.

Include:

  • the affected version or commit;
  • the macOS version and Apple Silicon generation, without serial numbers or other device identifiers;
  • reproduction steps;
  • expected and actual behavior;
  • the security impact.

Security design

mac-temp is intentionally read-only:

  • no root or sudo requirement;
  • no fan or SMC writes;
  • no network access;
  • no command execution based on sensor values;
  • no secrets or environment configuration;
  • bounded local history retention.

The program dynamically accesses temperature-related IOKit/HID symbols. These interfaces can change across macOS versions and should not be treated as a security or hardware-diagnostic boundary.

Public issue hygiene

Before attaching logs, remove usernames, home-directory paths, serial numbers, hardware UUIDs, hostnames, and unrelated environment variables. Normal mac-temp output does not include those fields.
