Abstract:
=========
The Vulnerability Laboratory discovered multiple web vulnerabilities in the Hide Photo+Video Safe - Dot Lock Private Photos Vault 1.6 iOS application.


Report-Timeline:
================
2013-09-22:    Public Disclosure (Vulnerability Laboratory)


Status:
========
Published


Affected Products:
==================
Apple AppStore
Product: Hide Photo+Video Safe - Dot Lock Private Photos Vault 1.6


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


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


Details:
========
1.1
A local file/path include web vulnerability is detected in the Hide Photo+Video Safe - Dot Lock Private Photos Vault 1.6 iOS application.
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 uploadify/swfobject.js file when processing to add (upload) files with manipulated filenames as picture 
via POST method request. The attacker can inject local path or files to request resources and compromise the mobile device or web service. 
The validation has a bad side effect which impacts the risk to combine the attack with persistent injected script code.

Exploitation of the local file include web vulnerability requires no user interaction or privilege application user account with password. 
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability results in unauthorized local file and path requests to compromise the device or application.

Vulnerable Application(s):
        [+] Hide Photo+Video Safe v1.6 iOS - ITunes or AppStore (Apple)

Vulnerable Module(s):
        [+] File Upload - (http://localhost:5555/uploadify/swfobject.js )

Vulnerable Parameter(s):
        [+] filename (picture|image)

Affected Module(s):
        [+] Index File Dir Listing (http://localhost:5555/?../../../[x])



1.2
A persistent input validation web vulnerability is detected in the Hide Photo+Video Safe - Dot Lock Private Photos Vault 1.6 iOS application.
The bug allows remote attackers to implement/inject own malicious persistent script codes (application side) via POST method.

The vulnerability is located in the `Add Folder` module of the web-server interface (http://localhost:555) when processing to 
add via POST method manipulated `folder names`. The folder name will be changed to the path value without secure filter, encode or 
parse mechanism. The injected script code gets executed in the main index file dir folder listing of the mobile application.

Exploitation of the persistent web vulnerability requires low user interaction and no privilege application user account with a password. 
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability can lead to persistent session hijacking (customers), account steal via persistent web attacks, 
persistent phishing or persistent module context manipulation.

Vulnerable Application(s):
        [+] Hide Photo+Video Safe v1.6 iOS - ITunes or AppStore (Apple)

Vulnerable Module(s):
        [+] Add Folder

Vulnerable Parameter(s):
        [+] foldername
        [+] path

Affected Module(s):
        [+] Path Dir Listing (http://localhost:5555/[x])


Proof of Concept:
=================
1.1
The local file include web vulnerability can be exploited by remote attackers without privileged application user account 
and also without user interaction. For demonstration or reproduce ...

Solution:
=========
1.1
The file include web vulnerability can be patched by a secure encoding and filter restriction of the file-names. 
Also encode and parse the vulnerable path listing value. Implement a secure exception-handling to filter and prevent malicious executions.

1.2
The persistent input validation web vulnerability can be patched by a secure encoding of the add folder function input.
Also encode and parse the output listing in the main index and sub folders.


Risk:
=====
1.1
The security risk of the local file include web vulnerability is estimated as high(+).

1.2
The security risk of the persistent input validation web vulnerability is estimated as medium(+).
