Descriptions

The Apple ID OD plug-in in Apple OS X before 10.10.5 allows attackers to change arbitrary user passwords via a crafted app.

Vulnerabilidad en el plug-in de Apple ID OD en Apple OS X en versiones anteriores a 10.10.5, permite a atacantes cambiar las contraseñas de usuarios arbitrarios a través de una aplicación manipulada.

This vulnerability allows attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of Apple OS X. An attacker must have shell access to exploit this vulnerability, however Guest access is sufficient.
The specific flaw exists within the authentication of users who use their iCloud account and password to log in to OS X. Any user is able to change the password of these users without knowing the previous password. This allows an attacker to run arbitrary commands as that user. If the target user is an Admin, the attacker can run arbitrary commands as root.
