Open Firmware Password Reveal
A user who has set an Open Firmware password on their Apple system believes it to be safe when powered down. There is a tool that any user with access to the Finder can run in order to reveal the Open Firmware password without any decryption.
Mitigation:
Ensure that the Open Firmware password is not set on the system.
