Which Texworks version are you using?

[matteofg]

The problem occurs with both TeXworks 0.6.9 and TeXworks 0.6.10

I can reproduce this, same mac Version. This is weird. JabRef basically only calls:
open -a texworks -n --args --insert-text citationkey

It does not work on terminal for me either.
However, starting JabRef with open -a JabRef -n --args --debug works correctly.
So I would suggest it's somehow an issue with TexWorks in combination with macOS 15.

You should open an issue in TexWorks and reference your old one:
