Privileged power control via unauthenticated XPC helper
Published Sep 18, 2025 · Updated Sep 19, 2025
Missing authentication in AIBattery 1.0.9 and earlier allows local users to perform privileged power and SMC operations through XPC. The root-privileged BatteryXPCService accepts connections to com.collweb.AIBatteryHelper without validating an audit token, signing TeamID, or entitlement before exposing BatteryXPCProtocol methods. Any local unprivileged process can call methods such as forceBatteryMode, enableAdapter, and enableCharging, allowing unauthorized control of charging and adapter behavior.
