Warning: iPhone Bug Allows Deleted Email To Be Retrieved With Simple Search
11:53 am, August 17th, 2009, Leander Kahney
Never use your iPhone for incriminating or embarrassing emails you might not want others to see.
CoM reader Matt Janssen has just found a bug in the iPhone’s 3.x software that allows deleted email to be retrieved.
In other words, the iPhone and iPod Touch’s Mail app doesn’t properly delete email. Erased email messages can be easily retrieved using a simple search with the iPhone’s built-in search tool.
“Obviously this is could be a major security issue if you think you deleted something from your iPod but it’s not really deleted,” says Janssen. “You can still search through messages that are deleted. And this isn’t messages that are just recent. I found some messages that are over three or four months old.”
The bug could reveal embarrassing email sent or received by cheating spouses, or messages that kids don’t want their parents to see. It’s present in the software for both the iPhone and iPod Touch.
Janssen has made a video to demonstrate the bug. In the video, Janssen creates an email in a standard POP account, sends it to himself and then deletes it. The message appears to be gone from his inbox, but he’s able to retrieve it using the iPhone’s Search function. Janssen has to search for the deleted message twice. On first try, the Mail app crashes and sends him back to the Home screen. But on the second try, the message is retrieved and displayed. It even retrieves messages that are deleted from the server.
“Hopefully Apple will fix it in some later releases,” says Janssen.

Ahhh , any moron know that your messages go into the “Deleted” mailbox until you empty it.

Well the reason the search displays this is because the email is still in the Trash Folder. Since it is still in the Trash Folder it is still on the server. Delete from Trash you have fixed your problem.

I should have tested this before posting. Matt may have jumped the gun. As you guys noted, he may simply be finding ‘deleted’ email in the iPhone’s Trash folder, where it is stored until the folder is emptied.
I just deleted a message on my iPhone, cleared the Trash folder on my Mac, and lo-and-behold, the message is gone for good: it doesn’t appear in a simple search. I’ve asked Matt to double check.

As always, if you lose physical control of your device, you should have zero expectation of security.

You shouldn’t use email at all for anything incriminating or embarrassing since the other participant will have a copy of the email even if you delete it!!

Hi guys,
Thanks for the comments (except maybe the person who called me a “moron”). If you would kindly watch the video starting at 59 seconds – you can see that I open the Trash folder on my iPod and delete the message. Please take a look at the video again – and if you didn’t even watch it before posting: shame on you.

BTW Leander, you spelled my last name 3 different ways within the post.

So… if it’s not displaying the email within the Trash folder, the logical explanation is that Spotlight actually makes a COPY of all our emails when it indexes them? And then it lags behind when an event such as delete happens, not indexing the change for a little while?
I can’t help but wonder how serious this really is — try the whole thing again, but leave a few minutes between the time you delete and the time you search. Doing the search immediately is not really “fair” and I can’t believe that a few moments delay in removing something from the search index is that big of a security issue on an inherently insecure device such as a mobile phone.
Gene, on August 17th, 2009 at 6:27 pm
Also – I wonder if the first search crash was because the index was in the midst of being updated; after the crash it reverted back to the previous index and waited to update it again?

Is there a clear cache option? Perhaps that is where the message is coming from.
Also, perhaps a complete shutdown and restart of the iPhone will clear this? Has that been tried?

This may or may not be a security issue but there definitely are a couple of bugs here. 1, the search crashing instead of a graceful failure and 2, the email showing up in the search even though its been deleted (searching immediately might not be “fair” but someone might do it for some reason and crashing could leave the index in a bad state for all future searches ?). The post mentions that the user has seen emails, deleted a few months ago, showing up on search, but I agree it would be nice to test/share a video, if it actually shows up an email older than say a month.
Good catch whoever found it!
G2, on August 18th, 2009 at 1:53 am
On my phone it disappears after a few minutes. Of course the copy in the sent box is still there unless I delete that, then everything goes. No record remains. I’m surprised CoM even bothered posting this story, although the crash is perhaps newsworthy.

[...] 分类: 移动电话 有什么比变心的女友、长不回来的头发更可怕的呢？答案是删不掉的电子邮件！（来乱的！？）简单说就是有人发现 iPhone OS 3.0（iPhone、iPod touch 皆然，所以是 OS 的问题）有个跟 Spotlight 搜寻、邮件相关，不大不小刚刚好的漏洞。这漏洞大概是这样的情况；一位朋友在删除（收件匣）兼清除（垃圾桶）的信件（POP / IMAP）后，发现居然还可以用 Spotlight 挖出来并且读取，不过邮件的内容则是显示 1 / 0，正在读一封邮件，但是收件匣 / 垃圾桶里面却都是空的，同时即使是连服务器端的档案都删除，Spotlight 还是找得到，只要还记得邮件的主题是啥，就可以挖回。目前怀疑是这些信件的快取档案，可能没有在信件被删除兼清除后一并杀光，甚至拖了一、两个月都还留（这位朋友有示范找出六月份的信件）在 iPhone / iPod touch 的某处，反而让啥都可以找的 Spotlight 有机会把他们给揪出来；表面上看起来不是啥太大的问题，至少也不是说随便打打就会被找到，真有啥不能说得秘密，还得知道这秘密的『标题』里头有啥关键词。（好像也不太困难的样子…）不过他总是一个很明显不该发生的事情，现在也只能祈祷苹果会在下一版的 iPhone OS（3.1？）更新中把该问题解决才是。[原文连接]继续阅读全文 iPhone Spotlight 搜寻：『翻开一张覆盖的卡！删除信件苏醒！』引用来源 | 此文章网址 | 转寄此文章 | 回应 [...]

[...] UPDATED: An internal tipster has provided us with proof that Apple is fully aware of this issue and will probably be including a fix in iPhone OS 3.1. Additionally, there are a number of ways to delete the messages from the index—for some, waiting works; for me, even restarting didn’t—but the fact remains that deleted emails are left, for some time, fully accessible.
