CVE-2014-1423: Online Accounts Signon daemon gives out all oauth tokens to any app

signond before 8.57+15.04.20141127.1-0ubuntu1, as used in Ubuntu Touch, did not properly restrict applications from querying oath tokens due to incorrect checks and the missing installation of the signon-apparmor-extension. An attacker could use this create a malicious click app that collects oauth tokens for other applications, exposing sensitive information.

Security readout for executives and security teams

A vulnerable Ubuntu Touch sign-on service could let a malicious installed app read OAuth tokens belonging to other apps. That can expose account access without breaking encryption or attacking a remote server. The issue is local and legacy-scoped, but token theft can create serious account-impact risk. Exposure appears limited to Ubuntu Touch or Ubuntu 15.04 signon deployments using affected signond versions. Modern systems are only in scope if they still carry the vulnerable package, packaging state, or inherited image behavior. Treat as moderate priority for legacy Ubuntu Touch environments. Prioritize token rotation and package verification where those devices handle corporate accounts or privileged cloud services. No source evidence supports broad internet-scale exploitation. Mitigation focus: Upgrade signond to 8.57+15.04.20141127.1-0ubuntu1 or later vendor-provided fixed packages.; Ensure signon-apparmor-extension is installed and AppArmor confinement is active for signon token access.; Remove untrusted click apps from affected Ubuntu Touch devices..
