This repository contains a local privilege escalation exploit for CVE-2018-4193, targeting the Apple macOS SkyLight framework. The main exploit file is 'exploit.m', written in Objective-C, which leverages private SkyLight framework functions and constructs a ROP chain to achieve arbitrary code execution. The Makefile automates the process of extracting symbol offsets from the SkyLight binary and compiling the exploit. The exploit is executed by providing a shell command as an argument, which is then run on the target system if the exploit is successful. Output from the exploit is written to '/tmp/poc-CVE-2018-4193/id'. The repository is structured with a Makefile for building and testing, a README.md briefly describing the exploit, and the main exploit source code. The exploit requires local access to a vulnerable macOS system and does not target remote or network attack vectors.
