Subject: Readdle: User traking (device UUID) over
	plaintext HTTP in query parameter

This little gem showed up in a recent code review. Signature ([self
signature]) is a CRC32 with no cryptographic value.

    -1 for tracking with a device's UUID
    -1 for doing it over an insecure channel
    -1 for doing it with a query parameter

// From ReaddleProtector.mm
- (void)validateCopy {

  NSString *urlString = [NSString
stringWithFormat:@"http://api.readdle.com/rpp/?u=%@&s=%@",
    [[UIDevice currentDevice] uniqueIdentifier], [self signature]];

  NSURL *url = [[NSURL alloc] initWithString:urlString];

  NSMutableURLRequest *req = [[NSMutableURLRequest alloc] initWithURL:url];
  UIDevice *d = [UIDevice currentDevice];
  NSBundle *b = [NSBundle mainBundle];

  NSString *userAgent = [NSString stringWithFormat: @"rp2|%@|%@|%@|%@",
                           [b objectForInfoDictionaryKey:@"CFBundleIdentifier"],
                           [b objectForInfoDictionaryKey:@"CFBundleVersion"],
                           [d systemName], [d systemVersion]];

  [req setValue:userAgent forHTTPHeaderField:@"User-Agent"];
  response = [NSMutableData new];
  [[[NSURLConnection alloc] initWithRequest:req delegate:self
startImmediately:YES] autorelease];

  [url release];
  [req release];
}

Surprisingly, it looks they have a well configured server, except for
the 1024 bit key.
