Technical Details & Description:
================================
An application-side input validation web vulnerability has been discovered in
the official Bashi v1.6 iOS mobile application.
The security web vulnerability allows to inject malicious script codes on the
application-side of the vulnerable iOS mobile app.
The vulnerability is located in the encode mechanism of the `code console`
input field. Local attackers with restricted or local low
privileged application user accounts are able to inject own malicious script
codes to the code console input. Thus code can be send by
the share function to the author or random emails. The execution of the
malicious script code occurs in the mail body message context
on sharing by email. The injection point of the vulnerability is the code
console compiler input field. The attack vector of the issue
is persistent on the application-side and the request method to inject is a
basic device sync.
The security risk of the application-side vulnerability is estimated as medium
with a cvss (common vulnerability scoring system) count of 3.5.
Exploitation of the persistent web vulnerability requires a low privileged ios
device account with restricted access and low user interaction.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerabilities results in persistent phishing
mails, session hijacking, persistent external redirect to malicious
sources and application-side manipulation of affected or connected module
context.
Vulnerable Module(s)
[+] Code Console
Vulnerable Input(s):
[+] Code Template
Vulnerable Parameter(s)
[+] code
Affected Module(s)
[+] Mail Message Body (Share Function)
Proof of Concept (PoC):
=======================
The application-side validation web vulnerability can be exploited by remote
attackers with low privileged iOS device user account and without user
interaction.
For security demonstration or to reproduce the vulnerability follow the
provided information and steps below to continue.
Manual steps to reproduce the vulnerability ...
1. Install the vulnerable iOS app to your apple device
2. Start the app
3. Click the code module to open the compiler
4. Inject a script code payload to the "$Person" variable in the code-line
input field
5. Now, click above the share button and choose send by email
Note: The payload is getting saved to the mail body message context
6. The execution occurs directly in the mail body of the email context were the
code becomes via echo visible
7. Successful reproduce of the vulnerability!
PoC: Code Template - Share
<p>#Note:The template file will be copied to a new file. When you
change the code of the template file you can create new file with&
nbsp;this base code. <br>echo <iframe>What&nbsp;is&nbsp;your&nbsp;name?';<br>read&
nbsp;PERSON&nbsp;<br>echo&nbsp;"Hello&nbsp;$PERSON";</p><br><br>
*My favorite app:<
A target="_blank" href="<a href="https://itunes.apple.com/app/id936560010?mt=8";>
https://itunes.apple.com/app/id936560010</a>">bashi</A></iframe></p>
Solution - Fix & Patch:
=======================
The vulnerability can be patched by a secure parse and encode of the vulnerable
`code compiler` input field.
Restrict the input field and disallow usage of special chars.
Encode the mail message body context that is getting transfered by the code
module input to the email body context.
Security Risk:
==============
The security risk of the persistent mail encoding web vulnerability in the iOS
app is estimated as medium. (CVSS 3.4)
