Power Management in Apple Mac OS X before 10.8.5 does not properly perform locking upon occurrences of a power assertion, which allows physically proximate attackers to bypass intended access restrictions by visiting an unattended workstation on which a locking failure had prevented the startup of the screen saver.
Weaknesses in this category are related to the management of permissions, privileges, and other security features that are used to perform access control.
