This vulnerability resides within the application\u0026rsquo;s privileged helper tool and stems from an unprotected XPC service. A local attacker can exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code with root privileges. The vulnerability allows the attacker to leverage the \u003ccode\u003einstallFromPath:toPath:withReply:\u003c/code\u003e method to overwrite sensitive system files and privileged binaries, ultimately leading to complete system compromise. It is important to note that Twitch Studio was discontinued in May 2024, meaning it is no longer actively maintained and patched.

This includes the ability to read, modify, or delete any data, install malware, and pivot to other systems on the network. While the exact number of affected systems is unknown, any machine with a vulnerable version of Twitch Studio installed is at risk.
