Indian developer earns Rs 75 lakh for finding 'Sign in with Apple' bug

Indian developer earns Rs 75 lakh for finding 'Sign in with Apple' bug

Jain disclosed the flaw to Apple which led to an award from Apple's bug bounty programme. Apple has since patched the bug.

A 27-year-old Indian security researcher Bhavuk Jain has grabbed $100,000 (over Rs 75.5 lakh) from Apple for discovering a now-patched Zero-Day vulnerability in the Sign in with Apple account authentication.

The Zero-Day vulnerability could have allowed a hacker to break into an Apple user's account who log into third-party apps like Dropbox, Spotify, Airbnb and Giphy (now acquired by Facebook) and more.

Jain who holds a bachelor's degree in electronics and communication discovered Zero-Day bug in ‘Sign in with Apple' that affected third-party applications which were using it and didn't implement their own additional security measures.

"This bug could have resulted in a full account takeover of user accounts on that third party application irrespective of a victim having a valid Apple ID or not," Jain said in a statement on Saturday.

"For this vulnerability, I was paid $100,000 by Apple under their Apple Security Bounty programme," he announced.

Jain is a full-stack developer interested mostly in mobile app development using React Native. He is currently a full-time bug bounty hunter "trying to make the internet a safer place for everyone".

Launched in 2019, ‘Sign in with Apple' is aimed to be a more privacy-focused alternative to third-party logins.

Jain disclosed the flaw to Apple which led to an award from Apple's bug bounty programme. Apple has since patched the bug.

According to Jain, the ‘Sign in with Apple' works similarly to ‘OAuth 2.0'.

"There are two possible ways to authenticate a user by either using a JWT (JSON Web Token) or a code generated by the Apple server. The code is then used to generate a JWT," he explained.

In the second step, while authorizing, Apple gives an option to a user to either share the Apple Email ID with the third-party app or not.

If the user decides to hide the Email ID, Apple generates its own user-specific Apple relay Email ID.

"Depending upon the user selection, after successful authorization, Apple creates a JWT which contains this email ID which is then used by the 3rd party app to log in a user," said Jain.

He found that he could request JWTs for any email ID from Apple and when the signature of these tokens was verified using Apple's public key, they showed as valid.

"This means an attacker could forge a JWT by linking any Email ID to it and gaining access to the victim's account," Jain noted.

The impact of this vulnerability was quite critical as it could have allowed a full account takeover.

A lot of developers have integrated Sign in with Apple since it is mandatory for applications that support other social logins.

Before patching the bug, Apple did an investigation of their logs and determined there was no misuse or account compromised due to this vulnerability.

Tata Altroz bags five-star safety rating at Global NCAP crash tests

Technology News

Tata Altroz comes with standard safety features like dual front airbags, ABS with EBD and CSC, reverse parking sensors, ISOFIX, driver and co-driver seatbelt reminder and high-speed alert system.

HIGHLIGHTS

    -Tata Altroz will be launched in India on January 22.
    -The Altroz is based on the ALFA (Agile Light Flexible Advanced) architecture.
    -There are two BS6-compliant engines available with the Altroz.
   
Tata Altroz has achieved a five-star safety rating in the adult occupant protection category at the Global NCAP (New Car Assessment Programme) crash tests. Scheduled to be launched in India on January 22, the premium hatchback is based on the ALFA (Agile Light Flexible Advanced) architecture and comes with standard safety features like dual front airbags, ABS with EBD and CSC, reverse parking sensors, ISOFIX, driver and co-driver seatbelt reminder and high-speed alert system. The entry-level model of the Altroz was chosen for the tests.

In its report, the agency noted that the structure and footwell area of Tata Altroz were rated as stable. "Head and neck protection for adult occupants was good. Chest protection for both adults was adequate," it said.

In the child occupant protection category, the upcoming Tata Altroz scored three stars. "Child occupant protection showed good protection for the 18-month-old dummy with the CRS (child restraint system) installed rearward facing and using the standard ISOFIX anchorages. The 3-year-old CRS was installed forward-facing, the backrest of the seat unlatched during the crash due to the load of the top tether, which was a reason for a score reduction," Global NCAP said.

Tata Altroz is available in five variants -- XE, XM, XT, XZ and XZ(O). It gets features like dual chamber projector headlamps with LED DRLs, split taillamps, piano black ORVM, black contrasting roof, 16-inch laser cut alloy wheels, 7-inch TFT digital instrument cluster, 7-inch floating touchscreen infotainment system, multifunction steering wheel, fully automatic AC and cruise control.

Both the engines get a standard 5-speed manual gearbox.

Tata Altroz gets five colour options -- High-Street Gold, Skyline Silver, Downtown Red, Midtown Grey and Avenue White. It will challenge the likes of Maruti Suzuki Baleno, Hyundai Elite i20 and Honda Jazz. We are expecting the Altroz to be priced in the range of Rs 5.50 lakh (ex-showroom) and Rs 8.50 lakh (ex-showroom).

Swift Tops Segment Sales, Triber More Popular Than Fords In September 2019

Triber More Popular Than Fords In September 2019

Swift Tops Segment Sales, Triber More Popular Than Fords In September 2019

The month-on-month figures for this segment recover with the addition of a new contender

1. Swift still the most popular mid-size hatchback offering.
2. Grand i10 and Nios combined are a comfortable second but still do not make the 10,000-mark.
3. New Triber sold over 4,700 units as the third most popular offering.
4. Ford Figo shipped less than a 1,000 units but saw a 5 per cent month-on-month growth.
5. Freestyle sales dropped to less than 500 this month—34 per cent drop in MoM demand.

The mid-size hatchback segment in the Indian automotive scene has managed to witness some positive month-on-month results in terms of demand last month. This can be attributed primarily to the newest crossover offering, the Renault Triber, whose pricing and target market bring it into this segment. Meanwhile, the Swift continues to lead this segment by quite a margin despite the drop in year-on-year sales.

Let’s take a look at how each of the contenders in this segment performed in terms of demand in September 2019:

Ford Figo: The Figo hatchback saw its month-on-month numbers grow by over 5 per cent. It has also significantly increased its market share since the facelift as compared to where it stood in the segment last year.

Hyundai Grand i10 and Nios: Hyundai still has the pre-facelift Grand i10 listed on sale alongside the Nios and their sales numbers continued to be clubbed together. As a whole, the demand for the Hyundai mid-size hatchback has stayed the same—both in terms of month-on-month sales and year-on-year market share.

Maruti Suzuki Swift: Still dominating the hatchback segment, the Swift sold close to 13,000 units in September 2019—almost a 4 per cent month-on-month growth. However, the Swift does not occupy as much of this segment as it used to, as the year-on-year market share has dropped by over 16 per cent. Its numbers have dropped significantly during the automotive slowdown, indicated by the average sales of well over 14,000 units a month.

Renault Triber: The latest addition to the segment is one that doesn’t quite fit in. The Renault Triber is a sub-4m MPV crossover with seating for up to 7, unlike the 5-seater hatchbacks that it’s competing with. But its pricing brings it into contention with them and offers a ridiculous amount of luggage space if used as a 5-seater. It’s already close to 5,000 monthly units, making it the third most popular offering, far more popular than the Fords.

Ford Freestyle: The Freestyle remains the least popular offering in the segment and it was also the biggest loser in September. Its month-on-month sales dropped by over 34 per cent with less than 500 units shipped.
