Product & Service Introduction:
===============================
Using this app, you can download photos to a PC or a smartphone from your 
iPhone through WiFi. The app provides the easiest and 
fastest way to do it. Just run the app on the iPhone and open the web browser 
on your PC or another smart phone. That is all 
that you are required to do. It is quite simple. In addition to the web 
browser, a ftp client application is also supported to 
access the photos. Do not pay money for these functions as the app provides all 
of them without charging.

Technical Details & Description:
================================
A directory traversal web vulnerability has been discovered in the official 
BlueFinger Photo WiFi Transfer v1.01 iOS mobile application.
The vulnerability allows remote attackers to bypass the path restriction of a 
service to access sensitive app-, web-server or -device information.

The vulnerability is located in the `ftp` (ftp://localhost:8080) service of the 
wifi `web-server` module. The issue allows an attacker to bypass 
the regular `folder/path` validation mechnism to access sensitive app 
web-server or iOS -device information. The attack vector of the issue is on 
the application-side of the service and to perform malicious request the `GET 
method` is required to use.

After the start of the web-server by usage of the ftp function, the attacker is 
able to include 5 more path values (../../../../../) to access 
unauthorized higher folders outside the mobile application service. In the 
analysis we saw that the path change of 5 directories is required 
to bypass. During the tests we accessed the full app service folder and through 
the directory traversal to web-server configuration files but 
also the parent device directory.

The security risk of the directory traversal web vulnerability is estimated as 
high with a cvss (common vulnerability scoring system) 
count of 6.7. Exploitation of the path traversal web vulnerability requires no 
privileged web-application user account or user interaction. 
Successful exploitation of the directory traversal vulnerability results in 
mobile application or connected device component compromise.

Request Method(s):
                        [+] GET

Affected Module(s):
                        [+] Parent Directory (ftp://localhost:8080/)


Proof of Concept (PoC):
=======================
The directory traversal web vulnerability can be exploited by attackers without 
privileged application user account and user interaction.

Note: The traversal becomes visible after the 5th path/folder request and 
affects like regular the full app path via web-server. (_eTiGb+6)


Solution - Fix & Patch:
=======================
The directory traversal web vulnerability can be patched by a secure filter and 
restriction mechanism in the GET method request of the directory/path name 
value module.


Security Risk:
==============
The security risk of the directory traversal web vulnerability in the ftp 
service of the mobile application is estimated as high.
