#[4] User identity validation abscence

In various scenarios web applications require session management and access
control mechanisms in order to enforce certain actions to be carried out,
exclusively, by certified/authorized personnel.
In web.telegram.org, this management control is implemented through Local
Storage. However, there is a possibility of an attacker — who possesses
valid dc1_auth_key from the victim — to access the application alongside
the true user of the given account.

Ex: Firefox
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
sqlite3 -header -separator " " webappsstore.sqlite "select * from
webappsstore2;" > out.txt; cat out.txt | grep dc1_aut
gro.margelet.bew.:https:443 dc1_auth_key
"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

#[5] Hijacking account and importing contacts

If the victim uses only the passcode as two-step verification, we can reset
her account, and as a result, the attacker creates the possibility for
importing contacts and hijacking the account:


- Attacker asks for token using Telegram-Web
- Obtains the code
- Resets account
- Waits for the victim to log-in
- Imports contacts (auto)
- Kills the victim's session
- Enables Two-Step verification (passcode + email)
