Description
In versions of Mac OS X before 10.11.1, the applescript:// URL
scheme is provided, which opens the provided script in the Applescript
Editor. Pressing cmd-R in the Editor executes the code without any
additional confirmation from the user. By getting the user to press
cmd-R in Safari, and by hooking the cmd-key keypress event, a user
can be tricked into running arbitrary Applescript code.
Gatekeeper should be disabled from Security & Privacy in order to
avoid the unidentified Developer prompt.
