Descriptions

An unauthenticated remote code execution vulnerability exists in Remote for Mac, a macOS remote control utility developed by Aexol Studio, in versions up to and including 2025.7. When the application is configured with authentication disabled (i.e., the "Allow unknown devices" option is enabled), the /api/executeScript endpoint is exposed without access control. This allows unauthenticated remote attackers to inject arbitrary AppleScript payloads via the X-Script HTTP header, resulting in code execution using do shell script. Successful exploitation grants attackers the ability to run arbitrary commands on the macOS host with the privileges of the Remote for Mac background process.

Existe una vulnerabilidad de ejecución remota de código no autenticado en Remote for Mac, una utilidad de control remoto para macOS desarrollada por Aexol Studio, en versiones hasta la 2025.7 incluida. Cuando la aplicación se configura con la autenticación deshabilitada (es decir, con la opción "Permitir dispositivos desconocidos" habilitada), el endpoint /api/executeScript queda expuesto sin control de acceso. Esto permite a atacantes remotos no autenticados inyectar payloads arbitrarias de AppleScript a través de la cabecera HTTP X-Script, lo que resulta en la ejecución de código mediante un script de shell. Una explotación exitosa permite a los atacantes ejecutar comandos arbitrarios en el host macOS con los privilegios del proceso en segundo plano de Remote for Mac.
