Vulnerability description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass implemented security restrictions.

The vulnerability exists due to a logic issue within the Gatekeeper checks. A remote attacker can craft a specially crafted payload that is not checked by Gatekeeper and bypasses File Quarantine and Application Notarization protections as well. As a result, a malicious binary can be executed on the system.

Note, the vulnerability is being actively exploited in the wild.
