In turn, today's MoAB disclosure by LMH and Johnny Pwnerseed states "If the developers [of Application Enhancer] have left a binary executed with root privileges at an user-writable path, they are certainly capable of doing other non-sense" and refers to "a jackass third-party which has no security background at all and spends more time flaming and insulting on a delusional IRC channel than on real work".

The workaround suggested by LMH and Johnny Pwnerseed is to "Stay away from Application Enhancer", however that would appear to leave the potential for similar exploits of other applications that put components into /Library/Frameworks. MoAB Fixes offers a more general workaround that changes to privileges on that folder. That change is easily reversed, but no guidance is given about when that might be necessary, and in any case repairing permissions will reset the privileges to their original state.{moscomment}
