# WiFiman Desktop for macOS: unrestricted IP binding leaks host device information

WiFiman Desktop for macOS binds a service to an unrestricted IP address, so someone on the same network can reach it and read information about the Mac. Fixed in 1.3.0. CVSS 7.5 (AV:N/PR:N/UI:N, confidentiality high).

_Summary, check and fix written by a model from the sources; labelled as such._

## Affected

## How to check

Open WiFiman Desktop on each Mac and check the version (WiFiman Desktop > About), or read CFBundleShortVersionString of /Applications/WiFiman Desktop.app (bundle id ui.wifiman-desktop).
