MMeTokenDecrypt

This program decrypts / extracts all authorization tokens on macOS / OS X / OSX. No user authentication is needed, due to the flawed way in which macOS authorizes keychain access.

Authorization tokens are stored in /Users/*/Library/Application Support/iCloud/Accounts/DSID where DSID is Apple's backend identifier for each iCloud account in their system.

This DSID file is encrypted with AES-128 CBC and an empty intialization vector (IV). The decryption key for this file is stored in the User's keychain, under the service name entry iCloud, with the name being the primary email address associated with an iCloud account.

This decryption key is decoded in base64, and then used as the message in a standard MD5 Hmac. The problem is, the key to the Hmac is buried deep in the internals of MacOS. This key is a 44 character long string of random letters that is necessary to decrypt the DSID file. This key is included in the source code of this repository, and as far as I know, has been published no where else on the internet.

Significance

The only software that performs a similar function is the forensics grade "Elcomsoft Phone Breaker". MMeTokenDecrypt allows any developer to incorporate the decryption of iCloud authorization files into their projects, open sourced.

Apple needs to redesign the way that keychain information is requested. Because this program forks a security subprocess, which is an Apple signed binary, the user is not alerted to the potential dangerous nature of the keychain request dialog. Additionally, an attacker can repeatedly present the user with the keychain dialog, until the user accepts the keychain request, because Apple does not put a timeout on the "deny" attempts. This allows for trivial compromization of iCloud authorization tokens, which can be used to access almost every iCloud service, including iOS backups, iCloud Contacts, iCloud Drive, iCloud Photo Library, Find my Friends, and Find my iPhone (see my other repositories).

Timeline and Reporting

Reached out to Apple on October 17, 2016. I extensively detailed the broken way in which user keychain authentication occurs on all versions of macOS.
I have not heard back from Apple as of November 6, 2016.
The bug report encompasses broken keychain access as a whole. MMeTokenDecrypt is one implementation of this bug. See my other repository, OSXChromeDecrypt for another implementation of this bug.
One notable excerpt from the bug report is as follows Furthermore, if we are a remote attacker, and if "ask for keychain password" is not checked, it is very trivial to implement code that essentially forces a user to click "allow", by forcing the prompt on them until they click accept and we retrieve the password. However, if "ask for keychain password" is checked, and the user clicks "deny" once, it becomes significantly trickier to repeatedly force the prompt (see references).
I have uploaded the bug report to this repository, and will update this file with any updates from Apple.

Usage

python MMeDecrypt.py

Decrypting token plist -> [/Users/bob/Library/Application Support/iCloud/Accounts/123456789]

Successfully decrypted token plist!

[email protected] Bob Loblaw -> [123456789]

cloudKitToken = AQAAAABYXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX~

mapsToken = AQAAAAXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX~

mmeAuthToken = AQAAAABXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX=

mmeBTMMInfiniteToken = AQAAAABXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX~

mmeFMFAppToken = AQAAAABXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX~

mmeFMIPToken = AQAAAABXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX~

Notes

If you are using a homebrew-installed version of python you may see the following error when running the script:

user@system:~/code/MMeTokenDecrypt $ python MMeDecrypt.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "MMeDecrypt.py", line 2, in <module>
    from Foundation import NSData, NSPropertyListSerialization
ImportError: No module named Foundation

You can work around this error by manually specifying the full path to the default system version of python that ships with your OS X version:

user@system:~/code/MMeTokenDecrypt $ /usr/bin/python MMeDecrypt.py
Decrypting token plist -> [/Users/user/Library/Application Support/iCloud/Accounts/123413453]

Successfully decrypted token plist!

    mapsToken = "AQAAAAXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX~";
    mmeAuthToken = "AQAAAABXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX=";
    mmeBTMMInfiniteToken = "AQAAAABXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX~";
    mmeFMFAppToken = "AQAAAABXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX~";
    mmeFMIPToken = "AQAAAABXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX~";
}
