What is CVE-2025-34089?

An unauthenticated remote code execution vulnerability has been identified in Remote for Mac, a macOS utility by Aexol Studio. When configured to allow connections from unknown devices, the application exposes the /api/executeScript endpoint without sufficient access control. This security flaw grants unauthorized attackers the ability to inject arbitrary AppleScript commands through the X-Script HTTP header, enabling them to execute malicious code on affected macOS systems. Exploitation of this vulnerability allows attackers to run any commands with the permissions of the Remote for Mac background process, potentially compromising the security of the host system.

Affected Version(s)

Remote for Mac * <= 2025.7

Exploit Proof of Concept (PoC)
