- this proof of concept exploit targets Safari 11.0.3 (13604.5.6) on macOS 10.13.3 (17D47) versions only.
- compile the payload of your choice as a dylib with a constructor
- run
python file_to_jsarray.py your.dylib payload.js - serve this directory and point Safari to /exploit.html
- exploit is not fully reliable and uses hardcoded offsets for this macOS/Safari version.
- exploit takes a while to run due to the size of the heap spray (24.5GB).
- this issue is addressed in macOS 10.13.4 as CVE-2018-4121 (https://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT208692)
