Apple patches egregious macOS High Sierra security flaw

TwitterFacebook

A day after it was revealed that macOS High Sierra had a massive security problem that allowed unauthorized users to easily log into a Mac with admin access, Apple has released a patch for the bug.

Yesterday Twitter user Lemi Ergin publicly revealed that if a user types “root” into the User Name field that comes up when making changes to System Preferences, and then hitting enter, the user will gain root-user access. They’ll also be able to log into the Mac anytime simply by going to “Other” at login and typing the “root” username again.

You can access it via System Preferences>Users & Groups>Click the lock to make changes. Then use “root” with no password. And try it for several times. Result is unbelievable! pic.twitter.com/m11qrEvECs

Peep almost any Apple forum or blog these days and you’ll find a similar sentiment: The Mac Dock has got to go.

As it turns out, getting rid of that pesky bar of app, document, and folder icons sitting at the bottom or side of your Mac’s screen is easier than you’d think: Simply replace it with the uBar 4, an upgraded Mac taskbar that gives you the freedom to customize your dock orientation and desktop theme.
