VLAI
Details
Product: Mobile Security Framework (MobSF)
Version: 4.3.0
CWE-ID: CWE-269: Improper Privilege Management
CVSS vector v.4.0: 7.1 (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:N/VA:N/SC:L/SI:N/SA:N)
CVSS vector v.3.1: 6.5 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N)
Description: MobSF has a functionality of dividing users by roles. This functionality is not efficient, because any registered user can get API Token with all privileges.
Impact: Information Disclosure
Vulnerable component: Code output component (/source_code)
Exploitation conditions: authorized user
Mitigation: Remove token output in the returned js-script
Researcher: Egor Filatov (Positive Technologies)
Research
Researcher discovered zero-day vulnerability «Local Privilege Escalation» in Mobile Security Framework (MobSF). To reproduce the vulnerability follow the steps below.
• A user with minimal privileges is required, so the administrator must create a user account
Figure 1. Registration
• Go to static analysis of any application
Figure 2. Static analysis
• Go to the code review of the selected application and get a token with all privileges in the response
Figure 3. Token receiving
• This token can be used to retrieve dynamic analysis information that has not been accessed before.
Figure 4. No access demonstration
Figure 5. Token usage
As a result, the user is able to escalate the privileges.

Title
Local Privilege Escalation in MobSF
Summary
Mobile Security Framework (MobSF) is an automated, all-in-one mobile application (Android/iOS/Windows) pen-testing, malware analysis and security assessment framework. A local user with minimal privileges is able to make use of an access token for materials for scopes which it should not be accepted. This issue has been addressed in version 4.3.1 and all users are advised to upgrade. There are no known workarounds for this vulnerability.
