Product: MyScript Memo - iOS (Web-Application) 3.0.0.363


Exploitation Technique:
=======================
Remote


Severity Level:
===============
Medium


Technical Details & Description:
================================
A persistent mail encoding and file extension validation vulnerability has been discovered in the official MyScript 
Memo v3.0.0 iOS mobile web-application.
The vulnerability allows an remote attacker or local privileged user account to inject own malicious script codes to 
the application-side of the affected modules.

The issue is located in the notes-filename and document text context of the export module. Local low privileged 
web-application user accounts are able to inject 
own malicious persistent script codes to the mail body context of the `share` function. Attacker can manipulate the 
notes files as extension or the main document 
context to send malicious mails with persistent injected script codes. The request method to inject is POST and the 
attack vector of the issue is located on the 
application-side of the iOS mobile web-application.

The security risk of the application-side input web vulnerability is estimated as medium with a cvss (common 
vulnerability scoring system) count of 3.6. 
Exploitation of the persistent web vulnerability requires a low privileged ios device account with restricted access 
and low or medium user interaction. 
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability 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)
                                [+] Export
 
Vulnerable File(s)
                                [+] *.notes

Affected Module(s)
                                [+] Email


Proof of Concept (PoC):
=======================
The vulnerability can be exploited by remote attackers and local low privileged user accounts with low or medium 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 mobile web-application
2. Start the mobile web-application
3. Add a new `Notizen` item via (+)
4. Use now a payload (script codes) as notiz name
5. Save the entry and open the document
6. Write with your finger a script code payload in the document and save it
7. Click (top|left) the export function
8. Use the function `As MyScript-File`
9. Now click the email button
Note: The file generates a notes file with the malicious payload for import/export. It also uses the file input payload 
of the document.
10. Successful reproduce of the persistent mail encoding web vulnerability and notes file validation issue!

Solution - Fix & Patch:
=======================
The vulnerability can be patched by a secure parse and encode of the filename variable and the document input text 
context.
Restrict the input and disallow special chars.
Encode the mail context input next to the attachment. Disallow note files with specialchars to prevent a malicious 
import/export.
Filter the filename validation to approve for malicious context and to prevent further script code injection attacks.


Security Risk:
==============
The security risk of the persistent mail encoding web vulnerability in the notes file extension and mail is estimated 
as medium. (CVSS 3.6)
