Introduction:
=============
Photo Server is the free (photos only) version of Video Server. Access your 
device`s camera roll from any computer or 
device with a web browser on your local network router`s WiFi. With proper 
configuration of your WiFi router, access 
can be made from the web browser of any computer or device connected to the 
internet.

Video transfer can be enabled either through the in-app upgrade or by clicking 
on and viewing an iAd (iAds not available 
in all countries yet).

The Bluetooth option allows you to transfer photos stored in your camera roll 
between Apple iMobile devices such as the 
iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad without WiFi. Once the BlueTooth connection is 
established between the devices, choose your 
picture and the app automatically begins transmitting it via BlueTooth to the 
other device. Once received on the other 
device you can view the photograph and save it to your camera roll.

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


Details:
========
1.1
A local command/path injection web vulnerability is detected  in the Photo 
Server 2.0 application (Apple iOS - iPad & iPhone).
The vulnerability allows to inject local commands via vulnerable system values 
to compromise the apple mobile iOS application.

The vulnerability is located in the index file dir listing module when 
processing to request and list the ipad or iphone devicename.
Local attackers can change the name of the device to inject the code and 
request any local path or inject commands on application-side.
The malicious context with the path request executes when a user or victim is 
watching the file dir index listing.

Exploitation of the web vulnerability requires a local privilege iOS device 
account with restricted access and no user interaction.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability results unauthorized execution of 
system specific commands and path requests.

Vulnerable Application(s):
                                [+] Photo Server v2.0  - ITunes or AppStore 
(Apple)

Vulnerable Parameter(s):
                                [+] device name

Affected Module(s):
                                [+] Index File Dir Listing




1.2
A file include web vulnerability is detected in the Photo Server 2.0 
application (Apple iOS - iPad & iPhone).
The file include vulnerability allows remote attackers to include (upload) 
local file or path requests to compromise the application or service.

The vulnerability is located in the upload module when processing to upload 
files with manipulated names via POST method. The attacker can inject 
local path or files to request context and compromise the device. The 
validation has a bad side effect which impacts the risk to combine the attack 
with persistent injected script code.

Exploitation of the file include web vulnerability requires no user interaction 
or privilege application user account. 
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability results in unauthorized local file 
and path requests to compromise the device or application.

Vulnerable Module(s):
                                [+] Upload (Files)

Vulnerable Parameter(s):
                                [+] filename 

Affected Module(s):
                                [+] Index File Dir Listing



1.3
An arbitrary file upload web vulnerability is detected in the Photo Server 2.0 
application (Apple iOS - iPad & iPhone).
The arbitrary file upload issue allows a remote attacker to upload files with 
multiple extensions to bypass the validation for unauthorized access.

The vulnerability is located in the upload module when processing to upload 
files with multiple ending extensions. Attackers are able to upload 
a php or js web-shells by renaming the file with multiple extensions. He 
uploads for example a web-shell with the following name and 
extension image.jpg.js.php.jpg . He deletes in the request after the upload the 
jpg to access unauthorized the malicious file (web-shell) to 
compromise the web-server or mobile device.

Exploitation of the arbitrary file upload web vulnerability requires no user 
interaction or privilege application user account.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability results in unauthorized file 
access because of a compromise after the upload of web-shells.

Vulnerable Module(s):
                                [+] Upload (Files)

Vulnerable Parameter(s):
                                [+] filename (multiple extensions)

Affected Module(s):
                                [+] Index File Dir Listing


Proof of Concept:
=================
1.1
The local command/path inject web vulnerability can be exploited by local 
attackers with device access and without user interaction.

Note: After the request of the upload you can attacker can open the 
localhost:8888 webserver again and access the folder by an include of the 
filename


Solution:
=========
1.1
The command/path injection web vulnerability can be patched by a secure parse 
or encoding of the 2 index location with the device name.

1.2
The file include web vulnerability can be patched by a secure parse of the POST 
method request when processing to upload a manipulated file.
Encode, filter or parse also the output listing in the index with the existing 
file names.

1.3
Disallow multiple extensions by secure filtering of the POST method request 
when processing to upload a file with multiple extensions.
Change the web app http server settings and file access rights to prevent the 
execution of js, html and php files.



Risk:
=====
1.1
The security risk of the command/path inject web vulnerability is estimated as 
high.

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

1.3
The security risk of the arbitrary file upload vulnerability is estimated as 
high(+).
