Discovery Status:
=================

Affected Product(s):
====================
Adobe Systems
Product: Premiere Clip - iOS Mobile Web Application (API) 1.1.1


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


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


Technical Details & Description:
================================
An application-side input validation web vulnerability has been discovered in the official Adobe Premiere Clip v1.1.1 iOS mobile web-application.
The issue affects the validation procedure of the adobe-creative cloud service that is in scope of the program after using the sync function.
The vulnerability allows an attacker to bypass the app filter and service validation to execute own malicious codes in a adobe creative cloud module.

The vulnerability is located in the project name value of the Adobe Premiere Clips iOS mobile web-application. Attackers are able 
to inject via POST (remote) or Sync (local) own malicious file names. By usage of the share function in connection with a sync the 
service generates a link to stream the context inside of the mail. The mail is wrong encoded and the cid:x value executes the 
malicious context. 

The adobe creative cloud service requests via the assets.adobe.com all synced file context. Remote attackers can for example include 
a malicious project by manipulation of the project name. Thus allows remote attackers to inject a malicious project of the connected 
cloud apps service to the assets library. After the sync via implement the creative cloud allows to share the context by the application 
itself or via the mobile app. By opening the exchange method to share, the context executes in the mail body next to the adobe ``cid:x``> 
value. Next to that a link is generated to adobe and can be prepared a second time the same way. The encoding of the share function 
is broken in case of a sync implementation through another device. The names needs to be encoded and the context that is getting dumped 
into the mail body needs to be parsed in a secure direction. The requests runs through the adobe clips, mobile api and adobe assets 
service in the creative cloud app.

The bug is located in the input validation of the adobe premier clips app but after the sync the broken context is streamed to the creative 
cloud service were you have also the ability to share the malicious context again by mail. The main problem is that the data is not getting 
encoded on sync via cloud. That results in a bypass of the basic filter validation in the app and also the main online-service of adobe.

The security risk of the filter bypass and persistent validation vulnerability is estimated as medium with a cvss (common vulnerability scoring 
system) count of 5.2. Exploitation of the persistent input validation web vulnerability requires a low privileged adobe user account with 
restricted access and low user interaction. Successful exploitation of the vulnerability results in session hijacking, persistent phishing, 
persistent external redirects to malicious source and persistent manipulation of affected or connected application modules (api).


Proof of Concept (PoC):
=======================
The vulnerability can be exploited by remote attackers with low privileged application user account and low or medium user interaction.
For security demonstration or to reproduce the security vulnerability follow the provided information and steps below to continue.

Manual steps to reproduce the vulnerability ...
1. Install a creative adobe account and use a test browser with the proxy credentials
2. Start to login and choose one of the apps to sync you payload
3. Open the adobe premiere clip app 
4. Inject as project a script code payload like bkm%20"><img src="cid:x">%20>%20<iframe src=http://www.evolution-sec.com> and save the project
5. Now open the adobe creative cloud with the assets service and sync all projects with the files
Note: Use the share function to dump the service data in the mail body context through the stage assets by mobile api 
6. Successful reproduce of the security vulnerability!

PoC Video: In the poc video we demonstrate how to exploit the issue by usage of a ipad that is connected to the creative cloud service.
The test account admin@...nerability-lab.com and bkm@...lution-sec.com was used to test the adobe service with the announced proxy settings.
The data is at the end executable in the mail body that comes through a validation lack of the software. The bug is present in several apps 
that allow us to sync the function in connection with the creative cloud share function. Due to the testings we saw that the service has 
captured the valid urls by filtering. 


Solution - Fix & Patch:
=======================
The vulnerability can be patched by a secure restriction of the name input in the adobe premiere clip mobile api.
Encode and parse the name cid:x input to prevent a persistent script code execution when processing to share the app sync context.

Note: The vulnerability in connection with the adobe creative cloud has already been prevented. No interaction is required to the update procedure of 
the connected cloud systems.




Security Risk:
==============
The security risk of the filter bypass and persistent mobile web vulnerability in the adobe api is estimated as medium. (CVSS 5.2)
