Product & Service Introduction:
===============================
Port Scanning is a essential network utility for every IT professional and this is the best scanner available for your 
iOS device. 
This utility application lets you check what services are listening on a network and is useful for making sure no 
service ports are 
open that shouldn`t be. Use this security tool as a conveinant portable app to check on open ports behind your 
corporate firewall 
via connection through the WiFi network or from the Internet through the cellular network. This app is a must have for 
every 
network/system administrator but simple enough for the non-professional to use and understand.

Abstract Advisory Information:
==============================
The Vulnerability Laboratory Core Research Team discovered a local command inject vulnerability in the official Port 
Scan v2.0 iOS mobile application.

Exploitation Technique:
=======================
Local


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


Technical Details & Description:
================================
A local command inject web vulnerability has been discovered in the official Port Scan v2.0 iOS mobile web-application.
The web vulnerability allows to inject malicious script codes to the application-side of the vulnerable iOS mobile app.

The security vulnerability is located in the device name value of the `Start Quick Scan` module. Local attackers are 
able 
to manipulate the url value to compromise the mail function of the Port Scan mobile app. The html encoding is broken in 
the 
`Email Results` export function. Local attackers are able to manipulate the url port scan input field to compromise the 
application internal validation via the `Email Results` (html). The attack vector of the vulnerability is located on 
the 
application-side and the injection point is the browse url input field.

The security risk of the local commandpath inject vulnerability is estimated as medium with a cvss (common 
vulnerability 
scoring system) count of 3.7. Exploitation of the local command  inject vulnerability requires a low privilege iOS 
system 
device user account with restricted access and no user interaction. Successful exploitation of the vulnerability 
results in 
unauthorized execution of system specific commands and unauthorized path value requests to compromise the mobile iOS 
application and connected device components.

Vulnerable Module(s)
                                [+] Start Quick Scan
 
Vulnerable Parameter(s)
                                [+] URL

Affected Module(s)
                                [+] Email Results - Mail


Proof of Concept (PoC):
=======================
The vulnerability can be exploited by local attackers with restricted 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.  Start your iOS device (iPhone or iPad)
2.  Install the Port Scan application to your iOS device
3.  Open Port Scan application
6.  Include above a payload to the URL input field
7.  Click to perform a quick port scan
7.  After the scan has been performed successful you click on top right the menu button
8.  Push the Email Results button to export the scan results
9.  Now, the execution occurs in the email section were the checked URL value is included!
10. Successful reproduce of the remote vulnerability!

Solution - Fix & Patch:
=======================
The vulnerability can be patched by a secure parse and encode of the vulnerable device name value in the export 
function.
Restrict the input and disallow usage of special chars in names. Filter by an exception handling that prevents the 
execution of malicious local stored device values.


Security Risk:
==============
The security risk of the local command inject web vulnerability in the Port Scan web-application is estimated as 
medium. (CVSS 5.6)
