Wardle guessed that Apple's patch for his second exploit could be bypassed if he simply found another tool to replicate what the blocked tool did.
Neither fixed the overall problem that Gatekeeper did not (and still does not, according to Wardle) block all unsigned code downloaded from the Internet. In the second case, Apple blocked the software-development tool that Wardle had used to add malware to the installer file. The company added verification of dylibs to block the first exploit. One exploit inserted malware into the code libraries, or dylibs, that most large applications share the other bundled malware into compressed installer packages (.dmg files) for signed software.Īpple's fixes for both flaws were too narrow, Wardle said. Wardle's work for the past year has shown that malware can still be installed even if Gatekeeper is set to block the dangerous third category.īoth of Wardle's two 2015 Gatekeeper exploits snuck in malicious code to run with signed software. Paranoid users can dial up Gatekeeper's settings to allow only the first category others can throw caution to the wind and allow all three.
The third is everything else, which is deemed unsafe.īy default, Gatekeeper accepts and runs software from the first two categories, while blocking the third. The second category is software that has been digitally "signed" by developers approved by Apple, and is assumed to be almost as safe. The first is software directly from Apple's own Mac App Store, which is assumed to be safe. Gatekeeper separates software downloaded from the Internet into three categories.
