Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

NVD · unedited
Logitech Options+ on MacOS prior 1.72 allows a local attacker to inject dynamic library within Options+ runtime and abuse permissions granted by the user to Options+ such as Camera.

Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

dbcve analysis · high confidence

Logitech Options+ on macOS prior to version 1.72 is vulnerable to dynamic library injection, allowing a local attacker to place a malicious library in a location from which the application loads libraries at runtime. This enables abuse of permissions already granted to Options+, such as camera access.

MitigationUpdate Logitech Options+ to version 1.72 or later. Additionally, ensure the application uses secure library loading mechanisms (Hardened Runtime, library validation) and avoid loading libraries from user-controlled directories.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.

dbcve checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Verify Logitech Options+ is installed and get version
    Open Terminal and run: ls /Applications/ | grep -i 'Options+' to check if installed, then run: defaults read /Applications/Logi\ Options\+.app/Contents/Info.plist CFBundleShortVersionString 2>/dev/null || plutil -p /Applications/Logi\ Options\+.app/Contents/Info.plist | grep -i version
    Affected if No version is returned or the version string shows a version lower than 1.72
  2. Confirm the exact version number
    Compare the returned version against 1.72 - versions like 1.71, 1.70, 1.6x, etc. are all affected
    Affected if The installed version is less than 1.72 (e.g., 1.71, 1.70, 1.6x)
  3. Check if Options+ has camera permissions
    Go to System Settings > Privacy & Security > Camera, or run: tccutil -l com.logitech.switti.engine 2>/dev/null; also check /Library/Application\ Support/com.apple.TCC/TCC.db for entries containing 'Logi' or 'Options+'
    Affected if Camera access is granted to Logitech Options+ (the vulnerability allows abuse of this granted permission)
  4. Check Hardened Runtime status (security mitigation)
    Run: codesign -dvv /Applications/Logi\ Options\+.app 2>&1 | grep -i 'runtime' or use: spctl --assess --verbose /Applications/Logi\ Options\+.app
    Affected if Hardened Runtime is disabled or Library Validation is not enforced (makes exploitation easier)

If Logitech Options+ is installed with a version lower than 1.72 AND has camera permissions granted, the environment is vulnerable to dylib injection attacks that can abuse the existing camera access.
