Detailsinfo

A vulnerability has been found in Apple iOS 7 Beta 1 (Smartphone Operating System) and classified as problematic. Affected by this vulnerability is an unknown code of the component Lockscreen. The manipulation as part of a Swipe Gesture leads to a improper authentication vulnerability. The CWE definition for the vulnerability is CWE-287. When an actor claims to have a given identity, the product does not prove or insufficiently proves that the claim is correct. As an impact it is known to affect confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

The weakness was shared 06/12/2013 by videosdebarraquito as How to get full access to iPhone photo library bypassing the passcode on iOS 7 Beta 1 as not defined video (Youtube). It is possible to read the advisory at youtu.be. Attacking locally is a requirement. The exploitation doesn't need any form of authentication. Technical details are unknown but a public exploit is available. Graham Cluley notes in this blog: "Firstly, and most importantly, this is a beta version of iOS 7 – released to developers and interested parties specifically for them to dig out bugs and report them back to the Apple mothership before the real version is released to millions of users."

A public exploit has been developed by videosdebarraquito and been published immediately after the advisory. It is possible to download the exploit at youtu.be. It is declared as highly functional. We expect the 0-day to have been worth approximately $25k-$100k. The advisory illustrates:

From the Lock Screen, open the Control Center. Tap on Calculator. From Calculator, open the Control Center again. Tap on Camera... and ready… You get full access to Photo Library !!

It is possible to mitigate the problem by applying the configuration setting Disable "Control Center on Lockscreen". The problem might be mitigated by replacing the product with Google Android as an alternative. The best possible mitigation is suggested to be the change of configuration settings. The user Max Wolf writes on Youtube: "This bug ain't present on the iPhone 5." But user @vsc1976 on Twitter was able to verify the existence even on iPhone 5.
