Any Mac running an older macOS release on the affected branches can be exposed, since the attacker needs only a local app to trigger the race. The sources do not say which earlier builds are vulnerable or whether special configuration matters, so treat all unpatched Macs as in scope. Managed fleets should confirm patch level rather than assume it.
