Forged tokens would grant access to virtually any account.<\/strong><\/p>\n

‘Sign in with Apple<\/a>’ is potentially more private than other login options, but it apparently included a serious security flaw. Researcher Bhavuk Jain recently received a $100,000 bug bounty for discovering<\/a> (via Hacker News<\/em><\/a>) a flaw in the sign-in service when available through third-party apps. If an app didn’t have its own security measures, an attacker could forge a token linked to any email ID and verify it as ‘valid’ using Apple’s public key. That could allow a “full account takeover” even if you chose to hide your email from other services, Jain said.<\/p>\n

Jain found the flaw in April, and it’s already fixed. Apple said there was no evidence of accounts being compromised as a result of the flaw.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

There shouldn’t have been any damage done as a result. Nonetheless, the bug probably isn’t what Apple wanted to grapple with in the wake of a string of security issues, including an earlier Mail vulnerability<\/a>. It’s fixing issues quickly — the question is whether or not it can cut down on these issues going forward.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
