Product: PDF Converter & Text Editor - iOS Web Application (Wifi) 2.1


Exploitation Technique:
=======================
Remote


Severity Level:
===============
High


Technical Details & Description:
================================
A local file include web vulnerability has been discovered in the official 
AppzCreative - PDF Converter & Text Editor v2.1 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 `submit upload` 
module. Remote attackers are able to inject own files with malicious 
`filename` values in the `file upload` POST method request to compromise the 
mobile web-application. The local file/path include execution occcurs in 
the index file dir listing of the wifi interface. The attacker is able to 
inject the local file include request by usage of the `wifi interface` 
in connection with the vulnerable file upload POST method request. 

Remote attackers are also able to exploit the filename issue in combination 
with persistent injected script codes to execute different malicious 
attack requests. The attack vector is located on the application-side of the 
wifi service and the request method to inject is POST. 

The security risk of the local file include vulnerability is estimated as high 
with a cvss (common vulnerability scoring system) count of 6.9. 
Exploitation of the local file include web vulnerability requires no user 
interaction or privileged web-application user account. 
Successful exploitation of the local file include vulnerability results in 
mobile application compromise or connected device component compromise.

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

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

Vulnerable Parameter(s):
                                [+] filename

Affected Module(s):
                                [+] Index File Dir Listing 
(http://localhost:52437/)


Proof of Concept (PoC):
=======================
The local file include web vulnerability can be exploited by remote attackers 
(network) 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 the vulnerability ...
1. Install the software to your iOS device
2. Start the mobile ios software and activate the web-server
3. Open the wifi interface for file transfers
4. Start a session tamper and upload a random fil
5. Change in the live tamper by interception of the vulnerable value the 
filename input (lfi payload)
6. Save the input by processing to continue the request
7. The code executes in the main file dir index list of the local web-server 
(localhost:52437)
8. Open the link with the private folder and attach the file for successful 
exploitation with the path value
9. Successful reproduce of the vulnerability!

http://localhost:52437/Box/ 


Solution - Fix & Patch:
=======================
The vulnerability can be patched by a secure validation of the filename value 
in the upload POST method request. Restrict the filename input and 
disallow special chars. Ensure that not multiple file extensions are loaded in 
the filename value to prevent arbitrary file upload attacks.
Encode the output in the file dir index list with the vulnerable name value to 
prevent application-side script code injection attacks.


Security Risk:
==============
The security rsik of the local file include web vulnerability in the filename 
value of the wifi service is estimated as high. (CVSS 6.9)
