Multiple format string vulnerabilities in AppleScript in Apple Mac OS X before 10.6.7 allow context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (application crash) via format string specifiers in a (1) display dialog or (2) display alert command in a dialog in an AppleScript Studio application.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is an old Apple Mac OS X AppleScript flaw fixed before 10.6.7. A malicious input reaching certain dialog or alert commands in an AppleScript Studio application could crash the application or potentially run code. Modern exposure is mainly legacy Macs or unsupported applications still using affected components. Exposure is limited to Mac OS X systems older than 10.6.7 running AppleScript Studio applications that pass attacker-influenced content into display dialog or display alert commands. Current enterprise exposure is likely rare but possible in legacy environments. Treat as a legacy-risk cleanup item unless old Mac OS X systems remain in business use. If such systems exist, prioritize upgrade, isolation, or retirement because the stated impact includes arbitrary code execution. Mitigation focus: Update affected Mac OS X systems to 10.6.7 or later.; Retire or isolate Macs that cannot be upgraded.; Inventory AppleScript Studio applications on legacy Macs..
