The only way to make the pages work again is to manually remove the malicious application from the system.\n\n## Vulnerability reproduction\n\nTo reproduce the vulnerability, follow the steps described below.\n\n\u2022\tUnzip the IPA file of any iOS application.\n\n*Listing 4. Unzipping the file*\n```\nunzip test.ipa\n```\n\n\u2022\tModify the value of `\u003ckey\u003eCFBundleIdentifier\u003c/key\u003e` by adding restricted characters in the `Info.plist` file.\n\n\u003cimg width=\"364\" alt=\"image-6\" src=\"https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/97dce68a-a5e2-4048-b5c8-3090146a9635\" /\u003e\n\n*Figure 7. Example with `\u0027` character`\n\n\n\u2022\tZip the modified IPA file.\n\n*Listing 5. Zipping the file*\n```\nzip -r dos.ipa Payload/\n```\n\n\u2022\tUpload the modified IPA file to Static Analysis and wait until it finished\n\u2022\tOpen the following pages:\n`http://mobsf/recent_scans/`\n`http://mobsf/ios/dynamic_analysis/`\n\n\u003cimg width=\"1119\" alt=\"image-7\" src=\"https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/a7a9ae2e-cd84-4ec8-8132-25140a209ca0\" /\u003e\n\n*Figure 8.
