Remote


Severity Level:
===============
Critical


Technical Details & Description:
================================
1.1
A remote code execution web vulnerability has been discovered in the official 
Briefcase Pro v4.0 iOS mobile wifi web-application.
The vulnerbaility allows an attacker to compromise the application and 
connected device by usage of a system specific command execution.

The vulnerability is located in the `Create Folder (Add Folder)` input field. 
The input field to create folders allows to inject the input 
via POST method request. The request validation has only a simple single quote 
encoding. Remote attackers are easily able to execute code 
by usage of a script code payload in combination with system device specific 
php code values. The execution of the code occurs in the main 
index file dir listing context. The attack vector is on application-side and 
the request method to attack the service is POST. 

The remote attacker is able to tamper the create new folder post method request 
and can intercept the values twice to attach the second 
manipulated path value to provoke a code execution. After the add request it is 
possible to attach to the already included values via create 
new folder to execute the code. 

The security risk of the remote code execution web vulnerability is estimated 
as critical with a cvss (common vulnerability scoring system) 
count of 9.2. Exploitation of the remote code execution web vulnerability 
requires no privileged application user account (passwd default blank) 
or user interaction. Successful exploitation of the code execution 
vulnerability results in mobile application compromise and connected or 
affected component compromise.


Request Method(s):
                                [+] [POST]

Vulnerable Module(s):
                                [+] Create Folder (Add Folder)

Vulnerable Parameter(s):
                                [+] name to path id

Affected Module(s):
                                [+] previewFile.html?id=undefined&name=


1.2
A local file include web vulnerability has been discovered in the official 
Briefcase Pro v4.0 iOS mobile wifi 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 files` 
module. Remote attackers are able to inject own files 
with malicious `filename` values in the `upload files` POST method request to 
compromise the mobile web-application. The local file/path 
include execution occcurs in the path dir index listing context. The attacker 
is able to inject the local file include request by usage 
of the `wifi interface`. 

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 6.3. 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]

Vulnerable Module(s):
                                [+] Upload Files

Vulnerable Parameter(s):
                                [+] filename

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


Proof of Concept (PoC):
=======================
1.1
The code execution vulnerability in the create folder function can be exploited 
by remote attackers without privileged application user account or user 
interaction.

Solution - Fix & Patch:
=======================
1.1
Restrict and filter the name of the add folder. Disallow special char usage and 
prepare to encode the POST method request to add the folder name to the index 
module.
Encode and filter also the foldername id value in the main item list of the 
application index.

1.2
The file include web vulnerability can be patched by a secure parse and encode 
of the filename value. Filter and restrict the filename input.
validate the output names in the main item list of the application index.


Security Risk:
==============
1.1
The security risk of the local code execution web vulnerability is estimated as 
critical.

1.2
The security risk of the local file include web vulnerability is estimated as 
high.
