Process injection: breaking all macOS security layers with a single vulnerability
Process injection: breaking all macOS security layers with a single vulnerability.
If you have created a new macOS app with Xcode 13.2, you may noticed this new method in the template:
- (BOOL)applicationSupportsSecureRestorableState:(NSApplication *)app { return YES; } This was added to the Xcode template to address a process injection vulnerability we reported!
In macOS 12.0.1 Monterey, Apple fixed CVE-2021-30873. This was a process injection vulnerability affecting (essentially) all macOS AppKit-based applications. We reported this vulnerability to Apple, along with methods to use this vulnerability to escape the sandbox, elevate privileges to root and bypass the filesystem restrictions of SIP.
