Description

Summary

macOS Wide-Area Discovery Accepts Arbitrary Tailnet Peer as DNS Authority and Exfiltrates Operator Credentials

Current Maintainer Triage

Status: narrow
Normalized severity: medium
Assessment: Real shipped macOS discovery steering bug, but exploitation needs same-tailnet position, a CA-trusted endpoint, and user selection, so medium not high.
