OpenBase Binary Calls gnutar Vulnerability
This is an exploit for a 3rd party program that has been bundled with Xcode on several occasions. The OpenBase binary calls gnutar while running with euid=0 by passing TAR_OPTIONS we can cause gzip to be invoked. Since no path is specified we can export PATH=/path/to/trojan:$PATH in order to take root.
Mitigation:
Ensure that all third-party programs are properly audited before being bundled with Xcode.
