This repository contains a proof-of-concept exploit for CVE-2025-61228, targeting the SuperDuper! backup application for macOS (versions 3.10 and older). The exploit demonstrates how an attacker can hijack the application's insecure auto-update mechanism to install a malicious package with escalated privileges, bypassing proper authentication and subverting privacy controls. The main exploit script (CVE-2025-61228.sh) creates a malicious package and manipulates macOS preferences to trick SuperDuper! into installing it. The payload demonstrates arbitrary code execution (creating files, exfiltrating data, copying applications) and shows how an attacker could persist or escalate privileges. The README provides a detailed technical analysis, context, and mitigation advice. The exploit is local in nature, requiring the attacker to run code on the target system, but leverages the application's update process to gain elevated access. Multiple fingerprintable endpoints are present, including file paths and macOS preference domains.
