Proof of Concept for MOAB-04-01-2007

This is a proof of concept exploit for the MOAB-04-01-2007 vulnerability. It targets iPhoto, a photo management application on macOS. The exploit takes advantage of a buffer overflow vulnerability in iPhoto's handling of XML feeds, allowing an attacker to execute arbitrary code on a target system. By sending a specially crafted XML feed, an attacker can trigger the buffer overflow and gain control over the target system.

Mitigation:

The vendor has released a patch for this vulnerability. It is recommended to update to the latest version of iPhoto to mitigate the risk of exploitation.
