If it can open and write any file on the OS, it's pretty much game over. Too many ways to exfiltrate data even without network/socket access.

Worse, what keeps this from editing the config files for Little Snitch (or similar blockers)?

  • I believe LS has some protections against this. Never tried them, but there are config related security options, incl. protection against synthetic events. So they definitely put some thought into that.
