CVE-2024-9062 Information

Description

The Archify application contains a local privilege escalation vulnerability due to insufficient client validation in its privileged helper tool com.oct4pie.archifyhelper which is exposed via XPC. Archify follows the actored applications\ model delegating privileged operations—such as arbitrary file deletion and file permission changes—to this helper running as root. However the helper does not verify the code signature entitlements or signing flags of the connecting client. Although macOS provides secure validation mechanisms like auditToken these are not implemented. As a result any local process can establish a connection to the helper and invoke privileged functionality leading to unauthorized execution of actions with root-level privileges.
