Mahalo to everybody who came to my @defcon talk "You're M̶u̶t̶e̶d̶ Rooted" 🙏🏽

Was stoked to talk about (& live-demo 😅) a local priv-esc vulnerability in Zoom (for macOS).

Currently there is no patch 👀😱

Slides with full details & PoC exploit:
speakerdeck.com/patrickwardle/… #0day ImageImage
🆕 Update(s):
🐛 Bug assigned CVE-2022-28756
🩹 Patch now available, in Zoom v5.11.5 (9788)

See Zoom's security bulletin:
explore.zoom.us/en/trust/secur…

Mahalos to @Zoom for the (incredibly) quick fix! 🙌🏽 🙏🏽 Image
Reversing the patch, we see the Zoom installer now invokes lchown to update the permissions of the update .pkg, thus preventing malicious subversions 🔐👍🏽 ImageImage

😅 Confirmed Big Sur & Monterey are vulnerable

🧮 I've posted Park's PoC (pops Calc) if you'd like to play: objective-see.com/downloads/PoCs…
The PoC once downloaded still has to be manually executed by the user.

macOS should, via File Quarantine/Gatekeeper, alert/warn/block as this is an 'executable' item from the Internet.

Apple attempted to patch (blocking file:// prefix), but File:// or fIle:// still work 🤣🤣🤣 Image
ℹ️ The initial patch, will as noted, block items that attempt to abuse the "file://" prefix: (but not "File://" etc.): Image
