It does work for Firefox, which I don't use on my Mac, but not for Safari, which I do. It seems first party apps and ones installed with a proper installer are not susceptible to this vulnerability, so you would have to rely on the presence of third party apps that don't get installed with installers. I would guess Mac App Store apps are also protected, but I am unable to test that. You are right that there is a vulnerability, though it's extent is questionable.
