'Name' => 'Bypass the macOS TCC Framework',
'Description' => %q{
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.
