CVE-2025-57443 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 5.1/10 on the CVSS scale. FrostWire 6.14.0-build-326 for macOS contains permissive entitlements (allow-dyld-environment-variables, disable-library-validation) that allow unprivileged local attackers to inject code into the FrostWire process via the DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES environment variable. This allows escalated privileges to arbitrary TCC-approved directories.. EPSS estimates a 0.12% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
