Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: Apple Remote Desktop Client version 1.2.4

Description: The issue allows remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary code when loginwindow is active via Fast User Switching, because the Apple Remote Desktop Client executes a GUI application as root when it is started by an Apple Remote Desktop Administrator application.

Recommendations: For Apple Remote Desktop Client version 1.2.4, consider restricting access to the application until a patch is available, and avoid using Fast User Switching when the loginwindow is active to minimize the risk of exploitation.
