This repository contains a single Metasploit auxiliary module targeting a sandbox escape vulnerability in Apple Safari (CVE-2015-1155) on Mac OS X. The exploit abuses a state management issue in Safari versions prior to 8.0.6, 7.1.6, and 6.2.6, allowing navigation to file:// URLs via a crafted .webarchive file. The module sets up both an FTP and HTTP server to deliver the malicious payload. When a victim opens the .webarchive in Safari, JavaScript is executed to navigate the browser to a file:// URL, enabling the attacker to read arbitrary files, inject cross-domain JavaScript, and potentially install Safari extensions without user interaction. The code is written in Ruby (for the Metasploit module) and JavaScript (for the browser payload). The main entry point is the Metasploit module file itself. The exploit is operational and provides a working attack chain, but payload customization is limited to the module's options.
