Cybercriminals are abusing Google’s infrastructure, creating emails that appear to come from Google in order to persuade people into handing over their Google account credentials. This attack, first flagged by Nick Johnson, the lead developer of the Ethereum Name Service (ENS), a blockchain equivalent of the popular internet naming convention known as the Domain Name System (DNS). Nick received a very official looking security alert about a subpoena allegedly issued to Google by law enforcement to information contained in Nick’s Google account. A URL in the email pointed Nick to a sites.google.com page that looked like an exact copy of the official Google support portal.

As a computer savvy person, Nick spotted that the official site should have been hosted on accounts.google.com and not sites.google.com. The difference is that anyone with a Google account can create a website on sites.google.com. And that is exactly what the cybercriminals did. Attackers increasingly use Google Sites to host phishing pages because the domain appears trustworthy to most users and can bypass many security filters. One of those filters is DKIM (DomainKeys Identified Mail), an email authentication protocol that allows the sending server to attach a digital signature to an email. If the target clicked either “Upload additional documents” or “View case”, they were redirected to an exact copy of the Google sign-in page designed to steal their login credentials. Your Google credentials are coveted prey, because they give access to core Google services like Gmail, Google Drive, Google Photos, Google Calendar, Google Contacts, Google Maps, Google Play, and YouTube, but also any third-party apps and services you have chosen to log in with your Google account. The signs to recognize this scam are the pages hosted at sites.google.com which should have been support.google.com and accounts.google.com and the sender address in the email header. Although it was signed by accounts.google.com, it was emailed by another address. If a person had all these accounts compromised in one go, this could easily lead to identity theft.

How to avoid scams like this

Don’t follow links in unsolicited emails or on unexpected websites.

Carefully look at the email headers when you receive an unexpected mail.

Verify the legitimacy of such emails through another, independent method.

Don’t use your Google account (or Facebook for that matter) to log in at other sites and services. Instead create an account on the service itself.

Technical details Analyzing the URL used in the attack on Nick, (https://sites.google.com[/]u/17918456/d/1W4M_jFajsC8YKeRJn6tt_b1Ja9Puh6_v/edit) where /u/17918456/ is a user or account identifier and /d/1W4M_jFajsC8YKeRJn6tt_b1Ja9Puh6_v/ identifies the exact page, the /edit part stands out like a sore thumb. DKIM-signed messages keep the signature during replays as long as the body remains unchanged. So if a malicious actor gets access to a previously legitimate DKIM-signed email, they can resend that exact message at any time, and it will still pass authentication. So, what the cybercriminals did was: Set up a Gmail account starting with me@ so the visible email would look as if it was addressed to “me.” Register an OAuth app and set the app name to match the phishing link Grant the OAuth app access to their Google account which triggers a legitimate security warning from [email protected] This alert has a valid DKIM signature, with the content of the phishing email embedded in the body as the app name. Forward the message untouched which keeps the DKIM signature valid. Creating the application containing the entire text of the phishing message for its name, and preparing the landing page and fake login site may seem a lot of work. But once the criminals have completed the initial work, the procedure is easy enough to repeat once a page gets reported, which is not easy on sites.google.com. Nick submitted a bug report to Google about this. Google originally closed the report as ‘Working as Intended,’ but later Google got back to him and said it had reconsidered the matter and it will fix the OAuth bug.

Nihao Jewelry - Wholesale Online app for iOS: Google OAuth Consent Screen: Privacy Policy link crashes the app

iOS 17.5.1

Nihao Jewelry - Wholesale Online app for iOS (version 2.19.1)

07/09/24

Description:

Here's a problem with a Google OAuth consent screen that leads to a crash. There's an app called Nihao Jewelry (NihaoJewelry) that comes up frequently in the app store. It looks to be a Blue Nile competitor.

Like many apps, this app has an option to create an account using your Google credentials on a Google OAuth consent screen.

That screen looks like this on web:

Instead of leading to a valid privacy policy, the app is linking to something that was hosted at: http://www.mm.com/index.php/customer/account/login/

I'm not really sure what mm.com used to be, but it did sell for quite a lot some years ago.

Long story short: the link is dead. This dead link crashes the Nihao Jewelry iOS app.

Here's the Google OAuth screen inside of the app:

If you select the "privacy policy" link from within the iOS app, the app crashes. It shouldn't be doing this, of course.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Download and launch the Nihao Jewelry - Wholesale Online app for iOS (version 2.19.1)

2. Select the Profile option in the lower right hand corner of the screen

3. Select the "Continue with Google" option

4. From the ""Nihaojewelry" Wants to Use" option, select "Continue"

5. From the Sign in page, select "privacy policy"

Result: Selecting the "privacy policy" link on the NihaoJewelry - Wholesale Online app's Google OAuth consent screen crashes the app

Expected: The "privacy policy" link on the NihaoJewelry - Wholesale Online app's Google OAuth consent screen should work - selecting it should take the user to a valid privacy policy - it should not crash the app Please take a look at the attached screenshots:

Download and launch the Nihaojewelry app for iOS...

Select the "Continue with Google" option...

Select "Continue"

The "privacy policy" link crashes the app.

Securing Your Digital Identity: Get Your Google API and OAuth Credentials Now

As of today, it is so easy to get the Google API and Client credentials with a few clicks via Google Developer Console. Before that, it is essential to know what API and Client credentials are. In this blog, we discuss the API and client credentials and when to use them. Are you searching for the Step by Step instructions to get the API key and OAuth Credentials? Then keep on reading….

Both API keys and OAuth are the different types of authentication handled by Cloud Endpoints.

These two differ most in the following ways:

The application or website performing the API call is identified by the API key.

An app or website’s user, or the person using it, is identified by an authentication token.

API keys provide project authorization

To decide which scheme is most appropriate, it’s important to understand what API keys and authentication can provide.

API keys provide

Project identification — Identify the application or the project that’s making a call to this API

Project authorization — Check whether the calling application has been granted access to call the API and has enabled the API in their project

API keys aren’t as secure as authentication tokens, but they identify the application or project that’s calling an API. They are generated on the project making the call, and you can restrict their use to an environment such as an IP address range, or an Android or iOS app.

By identifying the calling project, you can use API keys to associate usage information with that project. API keys allow the Extensible Service Proxy (ESP) to reject calls from projects that haven’t been granted access or enabled in the API.

Contrarily, authentication strategies often have two objectives:

Verify the identity of the calling user securely using user authentication.

Check the user's authorization to see if they have the right to submit this request.

A safe method of identifying the user who is calling is provided by authentication mechanisms.

In order to confirm that it has permission to call an API, endpoints also examine the authentication token.

The decision to authorize a request is made by the API server based on that authentication.

The calling project is identified by the API key, but the calling user is not.

An API key, for example, can identify the application that is making an API call if you have developed an application that is doing so.

Protection of API keys

In general, API keys is not seen to be safe because clients frequently have access to them. This will make it simple for someone to steal an API key. Unless the project owner revokes or regenerates the key, it can be used indefinitely once it has been stolen because it has no expiration date. There are better methods for authorization, even though the limitations you can place on an API key minimize this.

API Keys: When to Use?

An API may require API keys for part or all of its methods.

This makes sense to do if:

You should prevent traffic from anonymous sources.

In the event that the application developer wants to collaborate with the API producer to troubleshoot a problem or demonstrate the usage of their application, API keys identify an application's traffic for the API producer.

You wish to limit the number of API calls that are made.

You want to analyze API traffic to find usage trends.

APIs and services allow you to view application consumption.

You want to use the API key to filter logs.

API keys: When not to use?

Individual user identification – API keys are used to identify projects, not people

On secured authorization

Finding the authors of the project

Step-by-step instructions on how to get Google API and OAuth credentials using the Google developer console.

Step 1

Browse Google developer console

Step 2

Select your project or create a new project by clicking on the New project button

Step 3

Provide your project name, organization, and location, and click on create.

And That’s it. You have created a New Project.

Step 4

Navigate to the Enabled API and services at the Left sidebar and click on Credentials

Step 5

Move on to create Credentials

Here to get your API key click on the API key. Instantly you will get your API key for your Project.

To get your OAuth Credentials

Navigate to the OAuth Client ID on the Create Credentials drop-down menu.

Step 6

Here you need to create an application. A client ID is used to identify a single app to Google’s OAuth servers. If your app runs on multiple platforms, each will need its own client ID.

Step 7

Select the appropriate application type from the drop-down

The name of the client will be auto-generated. This is only to recognize the client console and does not show to the end users.

Step 8

Enter your URL for the Authorized JavaScript origins by clicking on Add URL

Provide your Authorized redirect URLs

Finally click on Create

Step 9

You will get an OAuth Client Id and Client Secret instantly.

Epilogue

Getting Google API and OAuth credentials is an important step in developing applications that interact with Google services. It allows developers to access data from Google APIs and services in a secure and reliable way. With the correct setup, developers can create powerful applications that can be used by millions of users. In summary, getting Google API and OAuth credentials is essential for any developer wishing to build web applications that interact with Google services.

Quote of the Week

For some weird reason the Elixir Discord community has a distinct lack of programmer-socks-wearing queer furries, at least compared to Rust, or even most other tech-y Discord servers I’ve seen. It caused some weird cognitive dissonance. Why do I feel vaguely strange hanging out online with all these kind, knowledgeable, friendly and compassionate techbro’s? Then I see a name I recognized from elsewhere and my hindbrain goes “oh thank gods, I know for a fact she’s actually a snow leopard in her free time”. Okay, this nitpick is firmly tongue-in-cheek, but the Rust user-base continues to be a fascinating case study in how many weirdos you can get together in one place when you very explicitly say it’s ok to be a weirdo.
