The following are some brief notes about the changes that have taken place
since the release of the "Attacking JavaScript Engines" paper [1]. In
general, no big conceptional changes have happened since. Mitigations have
been added to break some of the presented techniques and, as expected, a

Writeup for the "Dezhou Instrumentz" challenge from the Real World CTF Qualifier 2019

Dezhou Instrumentz

The challenge consisted of an iOS app (Calc.app) which implemented a simple calculator. Moreover, the app also registered a custom URL scheme (icalc://) which would simply evaluate the content of the URL. The calculator was implemented using NSExpressions and the input string would simply be parsed as such an expression and executed. NSExpressions are pretty powerful and allow for example calls to ObjC Methods (e.q. typing in sqrt(42) would end up calling +[_NSPredicateUtilities sqrt:@42]). Further, there are two interesting helper functions available in NSExpressions:

FUNCTION(obj, 'foo', "bar")

Which will result in a call of the method 'foo' on object obj with parameter "bar" (an NSString).
