Remote


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


Technical Details & Description:
================================
An directory traversal web vulnerability has been discovered in the official Photos in Wifi v1.0.1 iOS mobile web-application.
The vulnerability allows remote attackers to unauthorized access other the mobile application folders to compromise 
by an upload of malicious contents.

The vulnerability is located in `Select a photo or a video to upload` module. Remote attackers are able to intercept the vulnerable 
filename value in the upload - submit POST method request to compromise the mobile app. The encoding of the ext value and the parse 
of the filename value is broken which results obviously in this unexpected behavior. The injection point of the issue is the upload 
POST method request with the vulnerable filename value. The execution point occurs in the assets.php file when processing to display 
the images or videos.

The security risk of the path traversal vulnerability is estimated as high with a cvss (common vulnerability scoring system) count of 6.5. 
Exploitation of the remote web vulnerability requires no user interaction and also no privileged web application user account.
Successful exploitation of the file upload vulnerability results in web-server, web module, website or dbms compromise.

Vulnerable Module(s):
[+] ./assets-library://asset/

Vulnerable File(s):
[+] asset.php


Proof of Concept (PoC):
=======================
The vulnerability can be exploited by remote attackers without privileged web-application user account or user interaction.
For security demonstration or to reproduce the vulnerability follow the provided information and steps below to continue.


Manual steps to reproduce the vulnerability ...
1. Start the web-server (wifi)
2. Go to another computer and login by requesting via http localhost
3. Click upload and choose a random file
4. Start a live session tamper for http
5. Submit the upload to continue with the POST method request
6. Inject to the filename value with a payload and path as extension 
7. Continue to reply the request
8. The server responds with 200OK
9. Open the poc url of the path to execute the malicious content to compromise
10. Successful reproduce of the vulnerability!
