Microsoft Discovers Alarming MacOS Bug That Allows Hackers To Install Rootkits


Microsoft security experts have uncovered a vulnerability in macOS that allows threat actors to bypass Apple’s SIP.

This time, the security flaw allows threat actors to bypass Apple's SIP by loading third-party code that gives access to the macOS kernel. Bypassing SIP could expose the operating system to significant risk, which could result in attackers installing rootkits, worms, and other forms of malicious software on the device. It could also allow unauthorized modification of vital files that are core parts of macOS or even enable bad actors to load arbitrary kernel drivers.
