New CocoaPods CVEs: Swift and Objective-C Supply Chains Are Fragile
Blog post from Endor Labs
The report highlights three newly-discovered vulnerabilities in CocoaPods, a widely-used package manager for macOS and iOS development, raising concerns about software supply chain security. The vulnerabilities, identified as CVE-2024-38368, CVE-2024-38367, and CVE-2024-38366, involve potential unauthorized claiming of unowned Pods, email validation bypass leading to account takeovers, and remote code execution on CocoaPods servers, respectively. Although these issues have been patched, there remains uncertainty about whether adversaries exploited them, potentially affecting Swift and Objective-C applications. The report underscores the importance of a collaborative approach to software supply chain security, stressing the need for continuous monitoring, accurate software inventories, and proactive risk management, while acknowledging the role of vulnerable open-source components and the responsibility of both developers and organizations in maintaining security.
