I don't envy sys admins in large academic environments either. Seems like there might be some blood on the floor over this one, at least at some organizations. This is probably exercisable remotely if remote logins are enabled (screen sharing, anyway) I don't think anything I did would not be doable through a remote login (but I have not the means to test at the moment). Logs right in, shows the username in the upper left of the screen as 'System Administrator.' The account has root access to the machine.

Now when I go to the login screen, I have an 'Other' account showing if I click 'Other' I get a username and password dialog box if I enter 'root' as the username with a blank password Bob's your uncle. Went to the top-level of the file system did a 'Get Info' on a folder I didn't have access to asked it to show me 'Sharing and Permissions' clicked the lock icon to unlock them got a username/password dialog box entered 'root' as the username with a blank password once the dialog box shook and cleared entered 'root' with a blank password again, and the action completed with the lock unlocked.

Reinstalled the system, yes indeed, in the Other folder only 3 kext. The Register notes: 'If you have a root account enabled and a password for it set, the black password trick will not work. If you have no Sound just try to change AppleALC.kext for AppleALC.kext (1.2.7 ) And Reboot. Developer Lemi Orhan Ergan was the first to alert the world to the flaw. And while obviously this situation is not the end of the world - it's certainly far from a remote hole or a disk decryption technique - it's just really, really sad to see megabucks Apple drop the ball like this. You should not leave your vulnerable Mac unattended until you can fix the problem.

The vulnerability effectively allows someone with physical access to the machine to log in, cause extra mischief, install malware, and so on. You can do this from the user login screen. macOS High Sierra (version 10.13) is the fourteenth major release of macOS, Apple Inc.s desktop operating system for Macintosh computers. If you type in 'root' as the username, leave the password box blank, hit 'enter' and then click on unlock a few times, the prompt disappears and, congrats, you now have admin rights. The security bug is triggered via the authentication dialog box in Apple's operating system, which prompts you for an administrator's username and password when you need to do stuff like configure privacy and network settings. An anonymous reader quotes a report from The Register: A trivial-to-exploit flaw in macOS High Sierra, aka macOS 10.13, allows users to gain admin rights, or log in as root, without a password.
