  • Fixed an issue where an unauthorized application could talk to the Privilege Helper tool (also partly addressed in 1.5.0.)
  • Fixed an issue where an unauthorized application could elevate privileges beyond what Privileges has been designed for (also addressed in 1.5.0.)
  • Further improved XPC security to make sure an unauthorized application cannot talk to the Privilege Helper tool.
  • Fixed an issue introduced in version 1.5.0 where the Dock Tile did not behave as expected if the key RequireAuthentication has been used.

Privileges 1.5.1 has been tested and verified to run on the following OS versions:

  • macOS 10.12.6
  • macOS 10.13.6
  • macOS 10.14.6
  • macOS 10.15.3

We would like to acknowledge the assistance of Csaba Fitzl (@theevilbit) with identifying vulnerabilities in previous versions of Privileges and verifying that they are resolved.
