Bypass the macOS TCC Framework
Description
This module exploits a vulnerability in the TCC daemon on macOS Catalina (<= 10.15.5) in order to grant TCC entitlements. The TCC daemon can be manipulated (by setting the HOME environment variable) to use a new user controlled location as the TCC database. We can then grant ourselves entitlements by inserting them into this new database.

Module Options
To display the available options, load the module within the Metasploit console and run the commands 'show options' or 'show advanced':
- Collect and share all the information you need to conduct a successful and efficient penetration test
- Simulate complex attacks against your systems and users
- Test your defenses to make sure they’re ready
- Automate Every Step of Your Penetration Test
Time is precious, so I don’t want to do something manually that I can automate. Leveraging the Metasploit Framework when automating any task keeps us from having to re-create the wheel as we can use the existing libraries and focus our efforts where it matters.
