Date: ===== 2013-07-16 References: =========== http://www.vulnerability-lab.com/get_content.php?id=1013 VL-ID: ===== 1013 Common Vulnerability Scoring System: ==================================== 7.5 Introduction: ============= With `Flux Player` you can use your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch for download, transfer and playback of movies, audio books and music. The movies may be from transferred from commercial services, products or alternatively from yourself by drag-and-drop with the free `Flux Transfer` PC application. (Copy of the Vendor Homepage: https://itunes.apple.com/en/app/flux-player/id324300572 ) Abstract: ========= The Vulnerability Laboratory Research Team discovered a file include & arbitrary file upload vulnerability in the Flux Player 3.1.0 (Apple iOS - iPad & iPhone). Report-Timeline: ================ 2013-07-16: Public Disclosure (Vulnerability Laboratory) Status: ======== Published Affected Products: ================== Apple AppStore Product: Flux Player - Application 3.1.0 Exploitation-Technique: ======================= Remote Severity: ========= High Details: ======== 1.1 A file include web vulnerability is detected in the Flux Player 3.1.0 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 vulnerability requires no user interaction or privilege flux player 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 1.2 An arbitrary file upload web vulnerability is detected in the Flux Player 3.1.0 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 picture.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 vulnerability requires no user interaction or privilege flux player 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: ================= The local file include and arbitary file upload vulnerability can be exploited by remote attackers without privilege application user account and also without user interaction.

Its also possible to upload a file with multiple file extensions and to access with another frame.

After the upload the local file or path gets executed when processing to open the item listing. Solution: ========= 1.1 The vulnerability can be patched by a secure parse of the filenames when processing to upload via POST method request. Encode and parse the filename output listing in the index site of the application. Restrict the filename name input and disallow special chars. 1.2 Restrict the input of the filenames when processing to upload a file with multiple extension. Encode and parse the filename output listing in the index site of the application. Restrict the filename name input and disallow special chars. Disallow to open urls with multiple file extensions to prevent execution or access to web-shells. Risk: ===== 1.1 The security risk of the local file include web vulnerability is estimated as high. 1.2 The security risk of the arbitrary file upload vulnerability is estimated as high(+).
