An incorrect implementation of "XEP-0280: Message Carbons" in multiple XMPP clients allows a remote attacker to impersonate any user, including contacts, in the vulnerable application's display. This allows for various kinds of social engineering attacks. This CVE is for jappix 1.0.0 to 1.1.6.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2017-5602 is a spoofing issue in Jappix XMPP clients. A remote attacker could make messages appear as if they came from another user in the vulnerable application, enabling convincing social engineering. The bundle does not show code execution, data theft, or confirmed active exploitation. Exposure is likely limited to environments still using Jappix 1.0.0 to 1.1.6 as an XMPP client. Organizations without Jappix, or using unaffected XMPP clients, are not shown as affected by this CVE in the provided bundle. Treat this as a targeted social engineering risk, not an infrastructure takeover. Prioritize remediation if XMPP is used for operational approvals, credentials, finance, or executive communication. Mitigation focus: Inventory any deployed Jappix clients and confirm exact versions.; Upgrade away from Jappix 1.0.0 through 1.1.6 where applicable.; Review vendor guidance and the referenced upstream Jappix fix commit..
