Cryptomator for IOS: Tampered vault configuration allows MITM attack on Hub API
Noroxi assessment
Priority: Monitor (action score 23/100)
- The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.11% (FIRST EPSS).
- Anyone who can reach it over the internet can trigger it. A low-privileged account is enough. No user action is required. Special conditions such as timing or configuration are required.
- Fixed version: cryptomator ios 2.8.3.
Low priority for now. Upgrade to cryptomator ios 2.8.3 or later.

Cryptomator for IOS offers multi-platform transparent client-side encryption for files in the cloud. Prior to version 2.8.3, an integrity check vulnerability allows an attacker tamper with the vault configuration file leading to a man-in-the-middle vulnerability in Hub key loading mechanism. Before this fix, the client trusted endpoints from the vault config without host authenticity checks, which could allow token exfiltration by mixing a legitimate auth endpoint with a malicious API endpoint. Impacted are users unlocking Hub-backed vaults with affected client versions in environments where an attacker can alter the vault.cryptomator file. This issue has been patched in version 2.8.3.
