This isn't even a vulnerability. Mobile applications should be using the system browser, not a WebView. This blog post is proud of abusing the users trust. I can also make an application which opens an OAuth page to a fake-google.com which looks exactly like Google. I guess you can still trick Grannies with his app.
Finally the author admits...
> Nothing I did would technically be considered an ‘exploit’
and of course, admits he lied about the title and multiple sentences in his blog...
> As many of you may have suspected, this post is not entirely truthful.
Poor form.
- ubercow13 6y agoThis is a poor rebuttal. >Mobile applications should be using the system browser, not a WebView Maybe honest ones, however there is no reason a dishonest app that is trying to steal your Google account should stick to best practices. >I can also make an application which opens an OAuth page to a fake-google.com which looks exactly like Google You have ignored the part about bypassing Google's IP and location based fraud detection. Your idea wouldn't work.
