Could you build this?
No Developing a local privilege escalation exploit for macOS CoreServices requires deep offensive security expertise, Darwin kernel/XPC internals knowledge, and reverse engineering.
What it would actually take: Creating an LPE PoC requires disassembling closed-source macOS CoreServices binaries with IDA Pro or Ghidra, understanding Mach messages, XPC services, sandbox boundaries, and macOS entitlements. Exploitation involves crafting precise memory corruption or logic flaw payloads that bypass modern macOS mitigations like SIP and AMFI, demanding specialized binary exploitation skills.
