CVE-2022-32862 is an information disclosure vulnerability in macOS Big Sur, Monterey, and Ventura. The vulnerability allows an application with root privileges to access private information that should be protected. The issue was due to insufficient data protection mechanisms, which have been improved in the patched versions.

This repository contains two main bash scripts and a supporting plist file, targeting macOS systems. The 'get-full-disk-access.sh' script attempts to grant the attacker full disk access by manipulating the system migration process and SSH daemon. It generates SSH keys, ensures the SSH daemon is running, and uses a crafted migration request (resources/migration-request.plist) to trigger full disk access for the SSH daemon. Once access is obtained, it sets up a SUID zsh shell for privilege escalation and executes arbitrary commands as root. The 'grant-cam-mic-access.sh' script modifies the TCC.db database to grant camera and microphone access to a specified application, bypassing user consent. The attack vector is local, requiring execution on the target machine with sufficient privileges. The repository demonstrates operational-level exploitation techniques for macOS privilege escalation and privacy bypass.
