The NCSC warns that a severe authentication bypass in macOS Screen Sharing is being exploited to install Monero miners on compromised Macs. This flaw, identified as CVE-2026-65400, allows attackers to gain root access without valid credentials. Patching to specific macOS versions is essential, as conventional security measures are ineffective. Active exploits have been confirmed on systems with public port 5900 access.
