Description: Rich Mogull has reported a security issue in Parallels Desktop for Mac, which can be exploited by malicious software to bypass certain security restrictions.
The problem is that the Drag-and-Drop functionality of the VM (virtual machine) is implemented via a shared folder with "read-write" access to the host system. This can be exploited to write or manipulate files on the host system e.g. by malware in the VM.
