Jaws 0.8.8 Local File Inclusion
Jaws 0.8.8 is vulnerable to Local File Inclusion (LFI) when an attacker sends a specially crafted HTTP POST request to the vulnerable application. The vulnerable parameters are ‘language’ in the ‘/upgrade/index.php’ and ‘/install/index.php’ scripts. An attacker can exploit this vulnerability by sending a malicious HTTP POST request with the ‘language’ parameter set to a file path such as ‘../../../../../../../../../../../../etc/passwd%00’. This will cause the application to include the contents of the ‘/etc/passwd’ file in the response. Additionally, the ‘Introduction_complete’ and ‘use_log’ scripts are also vulnerable to this attack.
Mitigation:
The best way to mitigate this vulnerability is to ensure that user input is properly sanitized and validated before being used in any file operations.
