New macOS zero-day bug lets attackers run commands remotely | #CyberSecurity #Apple #NobodyIsPerfect  | Apple, Mac, MacOS, iOS4, iPad, iPhone and (in)security... | Scoop.it

Security researchers disclosed today a new vulnerability in Apple's macOS Finder, which makes it possible for attackers to run arbitrary commands on Macs running any macOS version up to the latest release, Big Sur.

Zero-days are publicly disclosed flaws that haven't been patched by the vendor which, in some cases, are also actively exploited by attackers or have publicly available proof-of-concept exploits.

The bug, found by independent security researcher Park Minchan, is due to how macOS processes inetloc files, which inadvertently causes it to run any commands embedded by an attacker inside without any warnings or prompts.
