![]() Now the victim is in a location controlled by the attacker but trusted by Gatekeeper, so any attacker-controlled executable can be run without any warning. The victim downloads the malicious archive, extracts it and follows the symlink. To better understand how this exploit works, let’s consider the following scenario:Īn attacker crafts a zip file containing a symbolic link to an automount endpoint she/he controls (ex Documents -> /net//Documents) and sends it to the victim. The second legit feature is that zip archives can contain symbolic links pointing to an arbitrary location (including automount enpoints) and that the software on MacOS that is responsable to decompress zip files do not perform any check on the symlinks before creatig them. The first legit feature is automount (aka autofs) that allows a user to automatically mount a network share just by accessing a “special” path, in this case, any path beginning with “/net/”.įor example ‘ls /net//sharedfolder/’ will make the os read the content of the ‘sharedfolder’ on the remote host () using NFS. He goes on to explain the user can “easily” be tricked into mounting network share drive, and that anything in that folder can then pass Gatekeeper. In its current implementation, Gatekeeper considers both external drives and network shares as “safe locations.” This means that it allows any application contained in those locations to run without checking the code again. If the code has not been signed, the app won’t open without the user giving direct permission.Ĭavallarin writes on his blog, however, that Gatekeeper’s functionality can be completely bypassed. When a user downloads an app from outside of the Mac App Store, Gatekeeper is used to check that the code has been signed by Apple. This prevents applications from being run without user consent. Gatekeeper is a macOS security tool that verifies applications immediately after they are downloaded. The bypass remains unaddressed by Apple as of last week’s macOS 10.14.5 release.
