Safari comes pre-loaded on every Mac, iPhone, and iPad, offering a smooth performance. While you'll be able to use the following method to bypass the login on most Macs, some Mac users will have enabled FileVault and/or a firmware password, making it impossible to hack the Mac without knowing the password(s). Keep in mind that the Mac user will know that someone accessed their computer due to the password change.

There are thousands of apps in the App Store. You mean to say that there aren't any that can remotely run an AppleScript better than this hack?

yes, any VNC or SSH can do it. This is just another way.

You can also execute scripts embedded in a webpage served from the machine, and you can also execute scripts from iChat running on that machine. Of those, the one that would probably be easiest on an iPhone or other iOS device would be the webpage, as it'd require less typing. I prefer terminal shortcuts myself. NB: be careful how accessible you make this target machine to the outside world.

Does it sound like a security breach in MacOSX?

There may be a very limited possibility for abuse. But consider the conditions that have to be met before someone can actually do something malicious:

How To Hack A Mac From Another Macro

1. There must be a special script running. This is not a built-in: you have to provide it
2. There must be a playlist titled 'Scripts'
3. Within this playlist, there must be songs that contain the actual script code in the comments. Again, these can't be inserted remotely, you have to include the script code in your local song files.
4. A possible attacker must have access to your WiFi and his iDevice must be paired with iTunes

I doubt very much that this can be considered a security breach.

Of course not. You have to manually create the playlist as well as the stay-open application script as well as setting it in your login items list. And then you need to create the Applescript to run and attach it to a song file in that playlist.
That's a pretty big bunch of ifs that you need to manually perform.
Wouldn't it just be easier to write the malicious script as the 'stay-open application script' and put it in your login items? You'd omit a lot of ifs and thens and get a faster bang on your buck for maliciousness, wouldn't you?
A security hole isn't when a user shoots him- or her-self intentionally in the foot. It's when somebody else injects a rifle into the system and then has the gun automatically go off. (In other words, 'rm -rf /' isn't a security hole if a user types it as root; it's a security hole when simply launching an application as a user without privileges and has the app open up a root session and executes that command which is the security hole.)

no, it doesn't. First you need to have access to set up the scripts. Then you need to share you iTunes library. Then you need to know the code to access the itunes library.

Couldn't you just set up an Applescript trigger in Mail using Rules? Then send yourself an email to trigger Mail to run the Applescript?

Mac To Mac Remote

That's how I prefer to run scripts from my iPhone. Works over 3g too, obviously. I have a bunch of posts on my site (Murphy Mac) about kicking off scripts through mail - including one for rotating photos taken in portrait view with the iPhone. So people see them correctly in their browser.
I still think this hint is very interesting. Once set up it could be considered quite user friendly. It could provide a list of possible commands instead of you having to remember the choices.

If you have QuicKeys, the QuicKeys Anywhere app can remote control QuicKeys.

What a great hint! It allows me to execute applescripts to control the stereo which is playing music from iTunes on the computer, all while using Apple Remote. Thanks for sharing!

For the benefit of googlers you can kick off AppleScripts nicely now on your Mac from your iOS device using EventScripts Mobile
