TITLE

PayPal app In Paypal Web Vulnerability impersonating a server

DESCRIPTION

The PayPal app before 3.0.1 for iOS does not verify that the server hostname matches the domain name of the subject of an X.509 certificate, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof a PayPal web server via an arbitrary certificate. eBay PayPal is prone to a security-bypass vulnerability because it fails to properly verify x.509 certificates. Successfully exploiting this issue allows attackers to perform man-in-the-middle attacks or impersonate trusted servers which will aid in further attacks. NOTE: This issue affects connections on unsecured Wi-Fi networks. Versions prior to PayPal 3.0.1 for iOS-based mobile devices are vulnerable. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Secunia is pleased to announce the release of the annual Secunia report for 2008.
