Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions macOS versions prior to 10.13.1

Description The issue involves the Open Scripting Architecture component, allowing remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service via a crafted AppleScript file that is mishandled by osadecompile.

Recommendations For macOS versions prior to 10.13.1, update to version 10.13.1 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the use of the Open Scripting Architecture component until a patch is applied.
