CVE-2023-32422 is a privacy and security feature bypass vulnerability affecting Apple platforms prior to iOS 16.5, iPadOS 16.5, tvOS 16.5, and macOS Ventura 13.4. Apple states that the issue was addressed by adding additional SQLite logging restrictions. A vulnerable application may be able to bypass Privacy preferences, indicating that insufficient restrictions around SQLite-related logging behavior could allow an app to circumvent user-configured privacy controls.

This repository provides a proof-of-concept local privilege escalation exploit for CVE-2023-32422, a macOS TCC (Transparency, Consent, and Control) bypass vulnerability. The main exploit script, 'sqlite_tcc_bypass.sh', orchestrates the attack by resetting the Music app's cache database, preparing a malicious TCC.db SQLite database with injected access entries, and then overwriting the legitimate TCC.db file in the user's Library. This manipulation grants full disk access to arbitrary applications, bypassing macOS privacy controls. The repository includes helper scripts for resetting Music and TCC databases and restarting the TCC daemon. The exploit is entirely local, requires user-level access, and targets file system endpoints specific to macOS privacy infrastructure. The code is written in bash and is structured for demonstration and research purposes.
