Descriptions

An issue was discovered in KaiOS 2.5 and 2.5.1. The pre-installed Contacts application is vulnerable to HTML and JavaScript injection attacks. An attacker can send a vCard file to the victim that will inject HTML into the Contacts application (assuming the victim chooses to import the file). At a bare minimum, this allows an attacker to take control over the Contacts application's UI (e.g., display a malicious prompt to the user asking them to re-enter credentials such as their KaiOS credentials to continue using the application) and also allows an attacker to abuse any of the privileges available to the mobile application.

Se detectó un problema en KaiOS versiones 2.5 y 2.5.1. La aplicación Contacts preinstalada es vulnerable a ataques de inyección de HTML y JavaScript. Un atacante puede enviar un archivo vCard a la víctima que inyectará HTML en la aplicación Contacts (asumiendo que la víctima elige importar el archivo). Como mínimo, esto permite a un atacante tomar el control de la Interfaz de Usuario de la aplicación Contacts (por ejemplo, mostrar un mensaje malicioso al usuario pidiéndole que vuelva a ingresar sus credenciales, tal y como sus credenciales de KaiOS, para continuar usando la aplicación) y también permite a un atacante abusar de cualquiera de los privilegios disponibles para la aplicación móvil
