Remote


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


Technical Details & Description:
================================
A persistent input validation web vulnerability has been discovered in the official JavaScript Anywhere v3.0.4 iOS 
mobile web-application.
The vulnerability allows an attacker to inject own malicious script codes to the application-side of the affected 
module or function.

The vulnerability is located in the wifi user-interface application, that allows to share the projects with another 
user account. The `title` name 
value of the `New Project (+)` does not encode the inputs. After an attacker saved the malicious context as project, he 
is able to share it by usage 
of the wifi interface function. The wifi interface displays the project title names in a listing. The application-side 
execution occurs in the project 
listing of the wifi interface and the injection point is the project title name. The request method to inject is a sync 
via mobile app and the attack 
vector is located on the application-side.

The security risk of the application-side input web vulnerability is estimated as medium with a cvss (common 
vulnerability scoring system) count of 3.8. 
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 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):
                                [+] New Projects

Vulnerable Input(s):
                                [+] Project Name

Vulnerable Parameter(s):
                                [+] bar-title > title & list

Affected Module(s):
                                [+] Wifi UI


Proof of Concept (PoC):
=======================
The persistent input validation web vulnerability can be exploited by remote attackers via file excahnge or wifi 
interface 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. Download the application and install it to your iOS v9.x device
2. Open the software and create a new project or rename an existing one
3. inject as title value for the project own malicious script code tags with external source
4. Save the entry and click to the share function
Note: After clicking to share the project becomes available via wifi web-application ui
5. The script code (payload) directly executes in the project index of the wifi interface
Note: The issue occurs because of the project name validation is wrong encoded
6. Successful reproduce of the persistent input validation vulnerability in the iOS mobile web-application!

Note: There are multiple ways to exploit the bug remotly. Email, Dropbox & the Wifi Interface!


Solution - Fix & Patch:
=======================
The vulnerability can be patched by a secure parse and encode of the vulnerable title in the add new projects function.
Restrict the input and disallow special chars to prevent further injection attacks via wifi interface web-application.
Encode the title output value in the wifi interface and escape the context to secure.


Security Risk:
==============
The security risk of the persistent input validation web vulnerability in the javascript anywhere wifi interface is 
estimated as medium. (CVSS 3.8)
