Full title: MacOS X TimeMachine - (tmdiagnose) Command Injection Privilege Escalation Exploit 
Category: local exploits
Platform: macOS
This Metasploit module exploits a command injection in TimeMachine on macOS <= 10.14.3 in order to run a payload as root. The tmdiagnose binary on OSX <= 10.14.3 suffers from a command injection vulnerability that can be exploited by creating a specially crafted disk label. The tmdiagnose binary uses awk to list every mounted volume, and composes shell commands based on the volume labels. By creating a volume label with the backtick character, we can have our own binary executed with root privileges.
