Advisory ID: SYSS-2023-006 Product: Omnis Studio Manufacturer: Omnis Software Ltd. Affected Version(s): 10.22.00 Tested Version(s): 10.22.00 Vulnerability Type: Expected Behavior Violation (CWE-440) Risk Level: Low Solution Status: Open Manufacturer Notification: 2023-03-30 Solution Date: - Public Disclosure: 2023-07-20 CVE Reference: CVE-2023-38334 Author of Advisory: Matthias Deeg (SySS GmbH) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Overview: Omnis Studio is a rapid application development tool for developing cross-platform software applications. The manufacturer describes the product as follows: "Omnis Studio is a powerful development environment that lets you deploy apps to virtually any device, on any platform, including tablets, smartphones, and desktop computers."[1] Due to implementation issues, locked classes in Omnis libraries can be unlocked and thus further analyzed and modified via the Omnis Studio browser. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Vulnerability Details: Omnis Studio supports an irreversible feature for locking classes within Omnis libraries. According to the Omnis Studio software, it should be no longer possible to delete, view, change, copy, rename, duplicate, or print a locked class. However, during a security analysis of an application developed with Omnis Studio using this feature, Matthias Deeg found out that it is possible to unlock previously locked classes of Omnis libraries, for instance by simply bypassing specific checks in Omnis Studio. This allows for further analyzing and also deleting, viewing, changing, copying, renaming, duplicating, or printing previously locked Omnis classes. This violates the expected behavior of an "irreversible operation". ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Proof of Concept (PoC): For demonstrating the described security issue, Matthias Deeg developed a proof-of-concept software tool which allows unlocking locked classes within Omnis libraries and further analyzing and modifying them within Omnis Studio. >OmnisUnlocker.exe _____________________________________________________________ / _____ _____ _____ \ / / ___| / ___/ ___| \ | \ `--. _ _\ `--.\ `--. | | `--. \ | | |`--. \`--. \ | | /\__/ / |_| /\__/ /\__/ / | \ \____/ \__, \____/\____/ ... unlocks Omnis Studio! / \ __/ | / / |___/ __________________________________________/ / _________________/ (__) /_/ (oo) /------\/ / |____|| * || || ^^ ^^ SySS Omnis Unlocker v1.0 by Matthias Deeg <matthias.deeg@syss.de> - (c) 2023 [+] The Omnis Studio process was patched successfully.
