VAR-199905-0009
Vulnerability from variot - Updated: 2024-05-14 22:57Control Panel "Password Security" option for Apple Powerbooks allows attackers with physical access to the machine to bypass the security by booting it with an emergency startup disk and using a disk editor to modify the on/off toggle or password in the aaaaaaaAPWD file, which is normally inaccessible. apple's macOS Exists in unspecified vulnerabilities.None. Powerbooks come with a 'Password Security' Control Panel. This allows the user to create a password that must be entered prior to the OS mounting the hard drive. This feature can be enabled or disabled by the user. The control panel stores the enabled/disabled state, as well as an encrypted verion of the password, in a file called 'aaaaaaaaAPWD' in the root of the drive. The problem is that this security feature can be bypassed with a boot disk and hard drive utility
