Kext rejected due to insecure location: <OSKext 0x7ff369d04060 [0x7fff8b623af0]> { URL = "file:///Library/StagedExtensions/usr/local/***.kext, ID=yyy

Hi,

Currently I am having problem with loading the kernel extension of a product.

kextutil -t /usr/loca/***.kext provides following output.


Kext rejected due to insecure location: <OSKext 0x7ff369d04060 [0x7fff8b623af0]> { URL = "file:///Library/StagedExtensions/usr/local//***.kext/", ID = "com.***.yyy" }



This is happening with latest mac laptop with 10.13.6.


Could anybody would help me to understand the problem.?

kextutil -t /usr/loca/***.kext
provides following output.

Is the path to your KEXT really

/usr/loca/
? I suspect you meant
/usr/local/
, right? If so, that just a bug in your post? Or is your post correct and you really tried to load the KEXT from that path?

ps It helps if you copy’n’paste the command and its output directly from Terminal rather than retyping. The latter is subject to typos, and in a technical context like this it’s best to avoid that confusion.
