Technical Details & Description:  
================================  
A persistent input validation web vulnerability has been discovered in the official JavaScript Anywhere v3.0.4 iOS mobile web-application.  
The vulnerability allows an attacker to inject own malicious script codes to the application-side of the affected module or function.  
  
The vulnerability is located in the wifi user-interface application, that allows to share the projects with another user account. The `title` name   
value of the `New Project (+)` does not encode the inputs. After an attacker saved the malicious context as project, he is able to share it by usage   
of the wifi interface function. The wifi interface displays the project title names in a listing. The application-side execution occurs in the project   
listing of the wifi interface and the injection point is the project title name. The request method to inject is a sync via mobile app and the attack   
vector is located on the application-side.  
  
The security risk of the application-side input web vulnerability is estimated as medium with a cvss (common vulnerability scoring system) count of 3.8.   
Exploitation of the persistent web vulnerability requires a low privileged ios device account with restricted access and low or medium user interaction.   
Successful exploitation of the vulnerabilities results in persistent phishing mails, session hijacking, persistent external redirect to malicious   
sources and application-side manipulation of affected or connected module context.  
  
Vulnerable Module(s):  
[+] New Projects  
  
Vulnerable Input(s):  
[+] Project Name  
  
Vulnerable Parameter(s):  
[+] bar-title > title & list  
  
Affected Module(s):  
[+] Wifi UI  
  
  
Proof of Concept (PoC):  
=======================  
The persistent input validation web vulnerability can be exploited by remote attackers via file excahnge or wifi interface with low or medium user interaction.  
For security demonstration or to reproduce the vulnerability follow the provided information and steps below to continue.  
  
Manual steps to reproduce the vulnerability ...  
1. Download the application and install it to your iOS v9.x device  
2. Open the software and create a new project or rename an existing one  
3. inject as title value for the project own malicious script code tags with external source  
4. Save the entry and click to the share function  
Note: After clicking to share the project becomes available via wifi web-application ui  
5. The script code (payload) directly executes in the project index of the wifi interface  
Note: The issue occurs because of the project name validation is wrong encoded  
6. Successful reproduce of the persistent input validation vulnerability in the iOS mobile web-application!

Note: There are multiple ways to exploit the bug remotly. Email, Dropbox & the Wifi Interface!  
  
  
Solution - Fix & Patch:  
=======================  
The vulnerability can be patched by a secure parse and encode of the vulnerable title in the add new projects function.  
Restrict the input and disallow special chars to prevent further injection attacks via wifi interface web-application.  
Encode the title output value in the wifi interface and escape the context to secure.  
  
  
Security Risk:  
==============  
The security risk of the persistent input validation web vulnerability in the javascript anywhere wifi interface is estimated as medium. (CVSS 3.8)
