I think the original title would be better

> Bypassing macOS TCC User Privacy Protections By Accident and Design

Simply because 'backdoor' is especially vague - I first thought it was about Apple backdooring their users perhaps, but it's a way for malware to abuse Finder to bypass the 'Full Disk Access' permission prompt. It's also not an editorialized title.

Ah yes. Changed now. Submitted title was "macOS Privileged Access Backdoor"
