Abstract Advisory Information:

The Vulnerability Laboratory Research Team discovered a local file include web vulnerability in the official Files Desk Pro v1.4 iOS mobile web-application.

Vulnerability Disclosure Timeline:

2014-05-16: Public Disclosure (Vulnerability Laboratory)

Discovery Status:

Published

Affected Product(s):

LiveBird Technologies Private Limited
Product: Files Desk Pro & Lite 1.4

Exploitation Technique:

Local

Severity Level:

High

Technical Details & Description:

A local file include web vulnerability has been discovered in the official Files Desk Pro v1.4 iOS mobile web-application.
The local file include web vulnerability allows remote attackers to unauthorized include local file/path requests or system
specific path commands to compromise the mobile web-application.

The web vulnerability is located in the `filename` value of the `upload` module. Remote attackers are able to inject own files
with malicious `filename` values in the `upload` POST method request to compromise the mobile web-application. The local file/path
include execution occcurs in the `index file dir` list of the `filesdesk` manager. The attacker is able to inject the local file
include request by usage of the `wifi interface` or by a local privileged application user accounts via `file sync`(app).

Remote attackers are also able to exploit the filename validation issue in combination with persistent injected script codes to
execute different local malicious attacks requests. The attack vector is on the application-side of the wifi service and the
request method to inject is POST. The security risk of the local file include web vulnerability is estimated as high with a
cvss (common vulnerability scoring system) count of 6.7.

Exploitation of the local file include web vulnerability requires no user interaction but a privileged web-application user
account with low user auth. Successful exploitation of the local file include web vulnerability results in mobile application
or connected device component compromise.

Request Method(s):
[+] [POST] - Remote
[+] [SYNC] - Local

Vulnerable Module(s):
[+] FilesDesk Wifi (UI)

Vulnerable Function(s):
[+] Upload

Vulnerable Parameter(s):
[+] filename

Affected Module(s):
[+] Index File Dir Listing (http://localhost:8081/)

Proof of Concept (PoC):

The local file/path include web vulnerability can be exploited local attackers without privileged application user account and without user interaction.
For security demonstration or to reproduce the security vulnerability follow the provided information and steps below to continue.

Manual steps to reproduce …

  1. Install the FileDesk mobile application to your iOS device (ipad or iphone)
  2. Start the local wifi web-server and share some random files
  3. Connect with another remote computer to the local web-server interface url > web.localhost:8081
  4. Start a session tamper and choose a random file to upload
  5. Submit the upload form and intercept in the session to change the vulnerable filename value to a local device file/path
    Note: Can also be combined with script codes and html tags
  6. Refresh the index and the execution of the malicious request occurs in the index file dir list (name value)
  7. Successful reproduce of the file include web vulnerability!

Solution - Fix & Patch:

The vulnerability can be patched by a secure parse and encode of the filename value in the upload POST method request.
Disallow special chars for files and foldernames and restrict the user input. Encode and parse also the vulnerable name output value.

Security Risk:

The security risk of the local file include web vulnerability in the filename value is estimated as high(-).
