dear automattic
the bug i will share with you a bug that allow attackers to access users notes without permission
the bug is here
http://simp.ly/p
and here
http://app.simplenote.com/
and its using
web.archive.org website
web archive: is a website like google search but he save all links like you see here:
████
███
and like you see in attached photos last notes date was in 31 december 2020 so before one day which mean this website is disclosing them
people dont want all people to access there notes the want only the people who they invite
but
http://web.archive.org/web/http://app.simplenote.com/* and http://web.archive.org/web/http://simp.ly/p/*
Show Notes links , you should block http://simp.ly/p/ and http://app.simplenote.com from been on
in http://web.archive.org
because like that any one can access them maybe (emails and passwords) they are notes they should be private and see everything
just by searching about random notes
and it dosent work like that , its should be:
only people who i want them to see my notes can access them
not any random people find my notes on web.archive.org/
Short poc video:
█████
Fix:
block web.archive.org from disclose your websites
Note: this is not first time i found this type of bugs i already got it and it fixed many times .
so i really hope you will review that and fix it to keep your users safe because they maybe save emails or passwords or company informations and they want to share them only with company employers, i will wait an update from you :)
