Protected-directory disclosure via BDLDaemon get-task-allow entitlement
Published Jan 27, 2020 · Updated Sep 16, 2024
Incorrect default permissions in Bitdefender Antivirus for Mac before 8.0.0 allow local users to read protected directories. The vendor identifies BDLDaemon and its get-task-allow entitlement but does not disclose the incorrect permission assignment or access path. Exploitation requires low-privileged access to the Mac, and the reported consequence is read-only disclosure from otherwise protected directories.
