macOS & iOS bug could start a new wave of exploits

While immediate issues arising from new class of bugs that can beat the strict code signing of macOS and iOS have been fixed, researchers are wary that there are more to come.Apple is known to be extremely strict when it comes to code signing on iOS, with only apps cryptographically signed by a developer certificate trusted enough to run on the operating system. With macOS becoming more iOS-like, stricter enforcement of code signing has also been adopted for added security.However, in a disclosure on Tuesday by security outfit Trellix, there is a 'large new class of bugs' that an attacker could use to bypass code signing and allow the execution of code in macOS and iOS. This can lead to an escalation of privileges for the app and an escape from the sandbox. Read more...
