Overview
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Protection Mechanism Failure due to improper execution of built-in builders outside the macOS sandbox environment. An attacker can gain unauthorized read and write access to system paths by exploiting this misconfiguration.
Note: This is only exploitable if sandboxing is not enabled, which is the default setting on macOS.
