# Exploit Title: Soroush IM Desktop App 0.17.0 - Authentication Bypass
# Date: 2018-08-08
# Exploit Author: VortexNeoX64
# Vendor Homepage: https://soroush-app.ir
# Software Link: http://54.36.43.176/SoroushSetup0.17.0.exe
# Version: 0.17.0 BETA
# Tested on: Windows 10 1803 and windows server 2016 14393
# Security Issue:
# It seems that all databases are encrypted with a constant key and then producing same output
# across every other PCs so pushing NO_PASSCODE data ,that was encrypted before, to the databases
# on any other PC, would process the database valid and remove the passcode. The database entriesd are first
# entered in a log file in the same folder of the database, and then the Soroush app pushes the log file
# into permanent database. Attacker can unlock the client app with database injection, and bypass the
# authentication process. This exploit leads to two important security risks:
# 1.Attacker can access to all the data, chats, images, files and etc. then he/she is able to send and receive data in behalf of the original user
# 2.Attacker then may use the exploit to perform an DOS attack. which is done by setting a new passcode for the client without knowing the previews passcode
# PoC (.NET 4.0 Visual Basic)
# PoC dose not support Windows XP, try change "\users\" to "\Documents and Settings\"
