Descriptions

Open Scripting Architecture in Apple Mac OS X 10.4.11 and 10.5.4, and some other 10.4 and 10.5 versions, does not properly restrict the loading of scripting addition plugins, which allows local users to gain privileges via scripting addition commands to a privileged application, as originally demonstrated by an osascript tell command to ARDAgent.

Open Scripting Architecture en Mac OS X de Apple versiones 10.4.11 y 10.5.4, y algunas otras versiones 10.4 y 10.5, no restringe apropiadamente la carga de plugins de adición de scripting, lo que permite a los usuarios locales alcanzar privilegios mediante comandos de adición de scripting hacia una aplicación privilegiada, como es originalmente demostrado por un comando osascript tell para ARDAgent.
