Mac OS X Security Holes
Posted by Freaky on 19 May 2004 - 21:32
lixlpixel discovered a security hole in Mac OS X revolving around the URI handlers help and disk. Potentially a user could visit a website and have an AppleScript run. Same handler techniques were used with the disk handler to allow a user surfing the web to run into a malicious website that would either download a small disk image or mount it remotely and then execute from the mounted image a AppleScript that could run any command the user has permission to use.

The article has great pictures of the exploit in action.
