VAR-201602-0073

Vulnerability from variot - Updated: 2025-04-13 23:26

Dell SecureWorks app before 2.1 for iOS does not validate SSL certificates, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof servers and obtain sensitive information via a crafted certificate. Dell SecureWorks is prone to a security-bypass vulnerability because the application fails to properly validate SSL certificates. Successfully exploiting this issue allows attackers to perform man-in-the-middle attacks and bypass certain security restrictions. Dell SecureWorks 2.0.6 and prior versions are vulnerable. The Dell SecureWorks app for iOS is a set of mobile applications based on the iOS system of Dell in the United States for accessing the security information of Dell SecureWorks. The program supports rapid response to security incidents and comments, updates, etc. on critical security incidents.

Impact

An attacker who can perform a man in the middle attack may present a bogus SSL certificate which the application will accept silently. Usernames, passwords and sensitive information could be captured by an attacker without the user's knowledge.

Timeline

October 4, 2015 - Notified Dell SecureWorks via security@secureworks.com & security@dell.com October 6, 2015 - Dell SecureWorks responded stating that they are investigating October 15, 2015 - Dell SecureWorks asked for steps to reproduce the vulnerability October 15, 2015 - Provided steps to reproduce October 22, 2015 - Dell SecureWorks confirmed the vulnerability October 22, 2015 - Asked for a timeline to release the new version October 26, 2015 - Dell SecureWorks responded stating they are working on an update but do not have a timeline February 2, 2016 - Dell SecureWorks released version 2.1 which resolves this vulnerability

Solution

Upgrade to version 2.1 or later

How durations are calculated

Following the VTEM framework (Black Hat USA 2015), time to patch starts when the vendor or a coordinator was informed, total time to patch at discovery, and disclosure to patch at public disclosure; vendor response time runs from the report to its acknowledgement. Time to exploit and time unpatched start at the earliest discovery or report, falling back to public disclosure. Unpatched time ends at the first recorded patch, or the calculation time when no patch is recorded. Exploitation to patch shows the interval between those two events; a published proof of concept is a public exploit, not exploitation.

Each result shows its source dates. A negative interval means the end event came first; when date-only inputs leave the order open, the result says so. Date-only inputs are approximate. The earliest evidence wins: KEV report dates and sightings are labelled as such. Records describing another vulnerability are listed but never calculated from, and a PoC alone does not establish exploitation. Missing patch evidence does not prove that no patch exists. Filters below change the event list only.

The MITRE ATT&CK techniques below are AI-generated suggestions, inferred from the description of the vulnerability by the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-classification-roberta-base model, served locally by ML-Gateway. They have not been verified by an analyst and are provided for guidance only.
The approach is described in our paper Mapping CVEs to MITRE ATT&CK Techniques: A Curated Gold-Set Classifier and the Limits of LLM-Assisted Label Expansion.

Vulnerabilities whose description is nearest to this one in the vector space of the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-biencoder model. This is a similarity search over the bi-encoder space (plain cosine), not a classification, and it has no measured accuracy.
