Descriptions

Script Editor in Apple OS X before 10.11.1 allows remote attackers to bypass an intended user-confirmation requirement for AppleScript execution via unspecified vectors.

Script Editor en Apple OS X en versiones anteriores a 10.11.1 permite a atacantes remotos eludir un requisito destinado a la confirmación de usuario para la ejecución de AppleScript a través de vectores no especificados.

In versions of Mac OS X before 10.11.1, the applescript:// URL scheme is provided, which opens the provided script in the Applescript Editor. Pressing cmd-R in the Editor executes the code without any additional confirmation from the user. By getting the user to press cmd-R in Safari, and by hooking the cmd-key keypress event, a user can be tricked into running arbitrary Applescript code. Gatekeeper should be disabled from Security and Privacy in order to avoid the unidentified Developer prompt.
