Another Apple Security Failure (Apple Mail on the iPhone)

2013.11.12
Risk: Medium
Local: Yes
Remote: No
CVE: N/A
CWE: N/A

My iPhone does not store sensitive information. Its a phone an music player only. (I'm not sure it could save sensitive information if I needed it, as the following demonstrates). About 6 weeks ago, a colleague was having trouble adding an email account to his iPhone and sending email. I allowed him to add his account to my iPhone for testing. After testing, we deleted the account. My colleague was having trouble with Apple iPhone mail again this week. This time, I added my account to the phone. I used my account because he's remote and I don't want his password. Note: we use the same incoming and outgoing email servers. After running the setup wizard, my outgoing server was populated with his email credentials - both username and password. So much for deleting that username and password about 6 weeks ago.
