Summary

Username spoofing in OnionShare

Details

Between September 26, 2021 and October 8, 2021, Radically Open Security conducted a penetration test of OnionShare 2.4, funded by the Open Technology Fund's Red Team lab. This is an issue from that penetration test.

Vulnerability ID: OTF-005
Vulnerability type: Improper Input Sanitization
Threat level: Low

Description:

It is possible to change the username to that of another chat participant with an additional space character at the end of the name string.

Technical description:

Assumed users in Chat:

Alice
Bob
Mallory
Mallory renames to Alice.
Mallory sends message as Alice.
Alice and Bob receive a message from Mallory disguised as Alice, which is hard to distinguish from the Alice in the web interface.

otf-005-a otf-005-b

Other (invisible) whitespace characters were found to be working as well.

Impact:

An adversary with access to the chat environment can use the rename feature to impersonate other participants by adding whitespace characters at the end of the username.

Recommendation:

Remove non-visible characters from the username
