Microsoft finds new macOS vulnerability CVE-2024-44243 that allows attackers to install rootkits
On January 15, Microsoft Threat Intelligence discovered a new macOS vulnerability CVE-2024-44243 that could allow attackers to bypass Apple System Integrity Protection (SIP) in macOS by loading third-party kernel extensions. SIP is a security technology that restricts the execution of operations that may compromise system integrity; therefore, SIP bypass affects the overall security of the operating system. Bypass SIP can lead to serious consequences, such as increasing the likelihood that attackers and malware authors will successfully install rootkits, create persistent malware, bypass transparency, consent, and control (TCC), and expand the attack surface of other technologies and vulnerabilities.
