Vulnerability from variot - Updated: 2025-04-03 22:38

Apple iChat AV 2.1, AV 2.0, and 1.0.1 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary programs via a "link" that references the program. This issue is due to a design error that allows attacker to execute arbitrary commands through a vulnerable application. An attacker can leverage this issue to execute arbitrary application on an unsuspecting user's computer. The impact of this issue may be increased when an attacker entices a victim to first download an application or has another means of placing an application on the victim's computer, and then exploits this issue to execute it. Apple iChat is a video chat program

The MITRE ATT&CK techniques below are AI-generated suggestions, inferred from the description of the vulnerability by the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-classification-roberta-base model, served locally by ML-Gateway. They have not been verified by an analyst and are provided for guidance only.
The approach is described in our paper Mapping CVEs to MITRE ATT&CK Techniques: A Curated Gold-Set Classifier and the Limits of LLM-Assisted Label Expansion.
