Introduction:
=============
Downloads Lite is a fully featured download manager that allows you to download files to your iPhone or
iPod touch, you can then view/play the downloaded files right on your iPhone or iPod touch, or transfer
them to your computer. Downloads Lite has all the essential features of the full version of Downloads
except that it is limited to store up to 7 files.

Medium
Details:
========
A persistent input validation web vulnerability is detected in the Download Lite v4.3 application (Apple iOS - iPad & iPhone).
The bug allows an attacker (remote) to implement/inject malicious script code on the application side (persistent) of the device.
The vulnerability is located in the index file dir listing module of the web-server (http://localhost:800) when processing to
request via POST method injected manipulated `file names`. The persistent script code will be executed in the main
index file dir listing module when the service lists the new malicious injected filename as item.
Exploitation of the persistent web vulnerability requires low user interaction and a local privilege application & device account.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability can lead to persistent session hijacking (customers), account steal via persistent
web attacks, persistent phishing or stable (persistent) certificate mail notification context manipulation.
Vulnerable Application(s):
[+] Download Lite v4.3 - ITunes or AppStore (Apple)
Vulnerable Module(s):
[+] Add File
Vulnerable Parameter(s):
[+] filename
Affected Module(s):
[+] Index File Dir Listing
Proof of Concept:
=================
The persistent input validation web vulnerability can be exploited by local attackers with low required user interaction. For demonstration or reproduce ...

<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">
var now = new Date();
$.getJSON("/files?"+ now.toString(),
function(data){
var shadow = false;
$.each(data, function(i,item){
var trclass='';
if (shadow)
trclass= " class='shadow'";
encodeName = encodeURI(item.name).replace("'", "'");
$("<tr" + trclass + "><td><a href='/files/" + encodeName + "' class='file'>" + item.name +
"</a></td>" + "<td class='del'><form action='/files/" + encodeName + "' method='post'><input name='_method'
value='delete' type='hidden'/><input name=\"commit\" type=\"submit\" value=\"Delete\" class='button' /></td>" + "</tr>").appendTo("#filelist");
shadow = !shadow;
});
});
</script>
<div id="footer">
<div class="content">

</div>
</body></html>
Note: Like you can see in the encode name are the string bypass the validation because of the local (stored) location.
Attacker can inject the own script code by using the local device to execute when a remote user is processing to open the index listing.
Solution:
=========
The vulnerability can be patched by a secure encoding and parse of the file name in the main file dir listing index module of the application.
Risk:
=====
The security risk of the persistent input validation web vulnerability is estimated as medium(+).
