Local proxy hijacking via self-authorized privileged helper
Published Jun 10, 2025 · Updated Jun 11, 2025
Incorrect authorization in Stash for Mac through build 303 allows local users to alter system-wide proxy settings through its helper. The helper passes AuthorizationCopyRights its own root authorization context instead of validating the client's reference, while its XPC service omits code-signing checks. Any unprivileged local process can therefore redirect and intercept system traffic without user interaction.
