A now-patched macOS vulnerability allows attackers with root access to bypass a kernel-level security feature that prevents malicious software from modifying protected files and folders on a Mac.
Microsoft dubbed the vulnerability “Migraine” since it involves the macOS data transfer feature Migration Assistant. Apple desktop computers for a decade now have limited malware damage by restricting root access to the filesystem in a mechanism called System Integrity Protection.
