“Our malicious apps successfully went through Apple’s vetting process and was published on Apple’s Mac app store and iOS app store.

“Recently we discovered a set of surprising security vulnerabilities in Apple’s Mac OS and iOS that allows a malicious app to gain unauthorised access to other apps’ sensitive data such as passwords and tokens for iCloud, Mail app and all web passwords stored by Google Chrome,” Xing told The Register’s security desk. The sad part is, Apple was notified about this 6 months ago and still haven’t fixed it – the only fast moving response came from Google’s Chromium security team who removed keychain integration for Chrome, noting that it could likely not be solved at the application level.
It’s pretty serious as they managed to bypass the app store vetting and can grab access tokens and data from other apps on the device including high profile apps like Facebook, Evernote and iCloud itself even while sandboxed.
They say the holes are still present in Apple’s software, meaning their work will likely be consumed by attackers looking to weaponize the work.Īpple was not available for immediate comment. Lead researcher Luyi Xing told El Reg he and his team complied with Apple’s request to withhold publication of the research for six months, but had not heard back as of the time of writing. That malware, when installed on a victim’s device, raided the keychain to steal passwords for services including iCloud and the Mail app, and all those stored within Google Chrome. The team was able to upload malware to the Apple app store, passing the vetting process without triggering alerts. Six university researchers have revealed deadly zero-day flaws in Apple’s iOS and OS X, claiming it is possible to crack Apple’s password-storing keychain, break app sandboxes, and bypass its App Store security checks.Īttackers can steal passwords from installed apps, including the native email client, without being detected, by exploiting these bugs.

And now, Apple’s keychain cracked – and in a really serious way. Which is kinda funny, as after the LastPass hack I saw some people espousing the usage of Apple’s keychain as much more secure.
And another password shocker, a few days after ‘cloud’ password service LastPass was pretty seriously hacked (yah if you’re using it, change your master password) critical 0-day flaws in Apple’s password storing keychain have been exposed.
