Facebook have added the ability for organizations to detect if their OS X system is being exploited by XARA with their framework osquery. XARA vulnerabilities surfaced in Apple’s authentication infrastructure last week. If leveraged, the vulnerabilities could help attackers pilfer passwords and other sensitive information, like iCloud tokens, from apps on OS X machines. Apple is in the process of patching XARA, although there is no set timeline for the fix. Facebook developers unveiled three different tables they ve added to osquary to help users determine if something has gone awry.
