## PID 重用

当 macOS 的 **XPC 服务**基于 **PID** 而不是 **审计令牌** 来检查被调用的进程时，它容易受到 PID 重用攻击的影响。这种攻击基于一种 **竞争条件**，其中一个 **利用** 将会 **滥用** 功能并在此之后执行 **`posix_spawn(NULL, target_binary, NULL, &attr, target_argv, environ)`** 的 **漏洞** 将会 **向 XPC 服务发送消息**。

这个函数将使得 **允许的二进制文件拥有 PID**，但是 **恶意的 XPC 消息将在此之前被发送**。因此，如果 **XPC** 服务在执行 **`posix_spawn`** 之后使用 **PID** 来 **验证** 发送者并在验证之后检查它，它将认为它来自一个 **授权的** 进程。

### 攻击示例

如果你找到了函数 **`shouldAcceptNewConnection`** 或者被它调用的函数 **调用了** **`processIdentifier`** 而没有调用 **`auditToken`**。那么很有可能它正在验证进程的 PID 而不是审计令牌。\
就像这个例子中所示（来自参考资料）：

<figure><img src="../../../../.gitbook/assets/image (4) (1) (1) (1) (2).png" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

检查这个攻击示例（同样来自参考资料）以查看攻击的两个部分：

* 一个 **生成多个 fork** 的部分
* **每个 fork** 在发送消息后立即执行 **`posix_spawn`** 将负载发送到 XPC 服务。

{% hint style="danger" %}
为了使攻击生效，重要的是导出 **`OBJC_DISABLE_INITIALIZE_FORK_SAFETY=YES`** 或将其放入攻击中：
```objectivec
asm(".section __DATA,__objc_fork_ok\n"
"empty:\n"
".no_dead_strip empty\n");
```
{% endhint %}

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="NSTasks" %}
第一种使用 **`NSTasks`** 和参数来启动子进程以利用 RC 的选项
```objectivec
// from https://wojciechregula.blog/post/learn-xpc-exploitation-part-2-say-no-to-the-pid/

// allow fork() between exec()
asm(".section __DATA,__objc_fork_ok\n"
"empty:\n"

这个例子使用原始的 **`fork`** 来启动**利用 PID 竞争条件的子进程**，然后通过**硬链接利用另一个竞争条件**：
