Compass Security discovered a design weakness in Microsoft Intune's iOS Keychain management. This allows users to access company data even after the device has been unenrolled.


Technical Description
---------------------
If a user's device, which is enrolled with their company's MDM, is unenrolled, their Office access tokens are not removed from the iOS Keychain. Furthermore, the respective tokens are not invalidated on the server-side. Therefore, if the user reinstalls Office to their device after unenrollment, they may again obtain full access to the company's files.


Workaround / Fix:
-----------------
This issue can be fixed by invalidating the user's access token on the server- and client-side. In addition, the Keychain items could also be encrypted with a key stored in the app's data directory. Since this key is removed with the data directory on uninstallation of the app, this renders the Keychain entry useless.
