Similar to the second method, there is a \u201ctriple fetch\u201d issue.<\/p>\n<p>If the offset value is equal to zero, it will extract the payload from a special external root path, which seems to be unrestricted and can be controlled by an attacker.

We needed to restore the PKG file to the original Apple-signed one after the extraction to pass any possible verifications later.
