This repository is a Proof-of-Concept (PoC) exploit for CVE-2025-31258, a macOS sandbox escape vulnerability. The project is structured as a standard Xcode macOS application, with main code in Objective-C files (AppDelegate.m, ViewController.m, main.m). The exploit leverages the private RemoteViewServices framework, specifically the PBOXDuplicateRequest function, to duplicate the user's Documents folder to a new location ('Documents copy 1337') outside the sandbox. The application prompts the user to grant read access to their Documents folder via a GUI dialog, then performs the duplication and writes a file ('Escaped Sandbox!') to the new location, demonstrating the sandbox escape. The exploit is local and requires user interaction to grant permissions. The repository includes all necessary Xcode project files, resources, and a detailed README explaining usage and system requirements. No network endpoints are involved; all actions are performed on the local file system.
This repository is a Proof-of-Concept (PoC) exploit for CVE-2025-31258, targeting macOS sandbox restrictions. The project is an Xcode macOS application written in Objective-C. The main exploit logic resides in 'ViewController.m', which implements a GUI with a button labeled 'poc'. When triggered, the application prompts the user to grant read-only access to their Documents folder. It then uses dynamic loading to access the private 'RemoteViewServices' framework and calls the undocumented 'PBOXDuplicateRequest' function to duplicate the user's Documents folder to a new location ('Documents copy 1337'). Finally, it writes a file named 'Escaped Sandbox!' in the new folder, demonstrating a partial sandbox escape. The exploit requires user interaction to grant folder access and is intended as a local privilege escalation PoC. The repository includes standard Xcode project files, entitlements for sandboxing, and minimal documentation. No network or remote attack vectors are present; the exploit is purely local and demonstrates a macOS sandbox bypass technique.
