This Metasploit module exploits an incorrect side-effect modeling of the 'in' operator. The DFG compiler assumes that the 'in' operator is side-effect free, however the embed element with the PDF plugin provides a callback that can trigger side-effects leading to type confusion (CVE-2020-9850). The type confusion can be used as addrof and fakeobj primitives that then lead to arbitrary read/write of memory. These primitives allow us to write shellcode into a JIT region (RWX memory) containing the next stage of the exploit. The next stage uses CVE-2020-9856 to exploit a heap overflow in CVM Server, and extracts a macOS application containing our payload into /var/db/CVMS. The payload can then be opened with CVE-2020-9801, executing the payload as a user but without sandbox restrictions.
fbbde1e0b4f53036aee6e135d84e5add073f53c612d6996cee132e6170926d16This Metasploit module exploits an arbitrary file write in cfprefsd on macOS versions 10.15.4 and below in order to run a payload as root. The CFPreferencesSetAppValue function, which is reachable from most unsandboxed processes, can be exploited with a race condition in order to overwrite an arbitrary file as root. By overwriting /etc/pam.d/login a user can then login as root with the login root command without a password.
