Technical details

A vulnerability classified as Incorrect Default Permissions (CWE-276) exists in Shirt Pocket SuperDuper! versions 3.11 and earlier. The application's task template system allows a local attacker to modify settings to include an arbitrary installer package. Because SuperDuper! executes these packages with root privileges and Full Disk Access to facilitate system updates, an attacker can run malicious shell scripts that bypass macOS Transparency, Consent, and Control (TCC) privacy frameworks. The vendor addressed this in version 3.12 by completely removing the package installation feature from the Advanced options tab.
