Apple intentionally created a security breach in macOS Big Sur

fantomas

By fantomas

    • In Big Sur Apple decided to exempt many of its apps from being routed thru the frameworks they now require 3rd-party firewalls to use (LuLu, Little Snitch, etc.)

 Share

Q: Could this be (ab)used by malware to also bypass such firewalls?

 

A: Apparently yes, and trivially so.

People who want to know what apps and processes are exempt can open the macOS terminal and enter sudo defaults read /System/Library/Frameworks/NetworkExtension.framework/Resources/Info.plist ContentFilterExclusionList.

I'm pretty sure that's actually about a separate, stupid issue.

Feedback about this: Must have typed in incorrectly I suppose?

The domain/default pair of (/System/Library/Frameworks/NetworkExtension.framework/Resources/Info.plist, ContentFilterExclusionList) does not exist

Funny thing, Big Sur 11.6.0 runs extremely fast as compared to those with security updates such as 11.6.4.
