CVE-2005-2509
Unknown vulnerability in loginwindow in Mac OS X 10.4.2 and earlier, when Fast User Switching is enabled, allows attackers to log into other accounts if they know the passwords to at least two accounts.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.39%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
